This document discusses clinical simulation and the development of an orthopedic elbow simulator. It provides background on clinical simulation and its use of technology to allow healthcare providers to practice techniques. The document outlines plans to design an elbow simulator for orthopedic residents to practice reduction techniques for posterior elbow dislocations. Sources and individuals who provided guidance on the project are acknowledged.
