Welcome to the Medical Modeling and Simulation Database (MMSD)
of Eastern Virginia Medical School and the American College of Surgeons

We hope that the Medical Modeling Simulation Database will encourage continued research and collaboration within the simulation community. The MMSD will be updated quarterly to provide the most current research articles and publications available. Last updated: September, 2008.

The MMSD currently contains over 200,000 selected articles. The Research Articles database is a focused database that primarily contains downloaded bibliographic citation data from MEDLINE^® in its database. The Companies and Products database contains information on the companies that produce commercially available medical modeling and simulation products. The Simulation Centers and Simulation Sites of Interest database contains information on primarily academic-based research centers conducting work on medical modeling and simulation along with information on their respective research projects. Finally, the Meetings and Conferences database contains information on upcoming medical modeling and simulation meetings and conferences throughout the world. It is our intention to mirror the growth of the simulation community and facilitate collaborative research. If you have any ideas to improve the site, please let me know at mmsd@evms.edu. Thanks!
