Each scenario in TC3sim is a short, goal-oriented training exercise that provides the context to train a group of key tasks within a specific mission. These key tasks include the ability to assess casualties, perform triage, provide initial treatment, and prepare a casualty for evacuation under battlefield conditions. TC3Sim supports modes where each user may select from a predetermined list of roles and avatars. Players can choose to be a Combat Lifesaver or a Combat Medic and have access to different interactions based on their role. TC3Sim also incorporates a variety of instructional development strategies to support a student’s need to master a variety of medical competencies, and to apply them in unique situations.
