Case Study: Purdue University Global improves medical assisting training with SimTutor

Purdue University Global boosts medical assistant training with SimTutor’s 3D and 2D simulations

Purdue University Global faced the challenge of providing effective hands-on clinical skills training for medical assistant students in an online learning environment. The initial tools available were limited to basic text and images, which did not allow students to practice procedures or learn from mistakes in a risk-free setting. To solve this, Purdue University Global implemented online simulations from the vendor SimTutor.

The solution from SimTICS provided interactive simulations that allowed students to repeatedly practice medical procedures, receive instant corrective feedback, and master skills before entering a clinical setting. This approach boosted student confidence and critical thinking. The program also provided certificates of achievement and analytics to help instructors identify areas where students needed more support, effectively transforming student weaknesses into strengths.
