How a computer-based training module for the marine medic was developed

This article is a discussion of how a prototype Computer-based Training (CBT) program module was developed by a team of people representing different nationalities and from various professions including nursing, engineering, and medical graphics. Multimedia solutions that would facilitate the training of Marine corpsmen to perform their mission as first responder in combat incidents were examined. Three separate software models were evaluated. The prototype chosen was selected because of its simplicity, user-friendliness, and cost effectiveness.
