    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Pharmacology
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Inhalational anesthetics like halothane require effective teaching methods for understanding complex pharmacokinetics.
    • Simulation programs offer interactive tools for visualizing drug uptake and distribution.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effectiveness of a simulation program in teaching halothane uptake and distribution.
    • To assess student comprehension of the simulation's display and model limitations.

    Main Methods:

    • A pilot study was conducted using a simulation program during a tutorial.
    • Student understanding was assessed using a 'before and after' questionnaire.

    Main Results:

    • A highly significant improvement in student answers was observed post-tutorial.
