Simulator Materials Database Working Group
This working group will focus on establishing and maintaining a searchable database that characterizes and catalogs materials used in the field for simulating tissues. This working group will also be consulted in the writing, editing, and reviewing of an article on how to construct such a database. This new paper originated from a split in the Simulator Fidelity working group paper.
Manuscript Drafts
Here you will find the latest draft of the article for download. After making your edits, please save the document with your initials following the previous editor’s initials (e.g. Manuscript 5b_SELF_Simulator Materials Database_v1_ab cd ef gh.docx) and upload your edited and/or commented Simulator Fidelity Article draft to the drafts folder. We are aiming to submit this suite of articles to the Lancet or BMJ in March of 2024.
