In January 2015 a "General Cultural and Scientific Cooperation Agreement" was signed between the Institute of Clinical Physiology (IFC-CNR) of the National Research Council (Italy) and the Teaching University Geomedi (Georgia). For many years, researchers of the Institute of Clinical Physiology, have been studying the problem of simulation in medicine, both from the theoretical and the practical point of view. Cardiovascular and respiratory system modelling has been intensively investigated and several new applications of these models have been tested in the clinical environment, including e-Learning and medical simulation training. The research has also led to the development of new software for an interactive simulation of the cardiovascular system. This theoretical and applicative research activity has been considered of strategic relevance by the Teaching University Geomedi in Georgia and effective synergies have been established between the researchers of the two countries (Italy and Georgia) and an official agreement has been recently signed between the two institutions. The publication of this book stems from an initiative of Professor Marina Pirckhalava, Rector of Teaching University Geomedi. The book is one the first tangible results of the agreement confirms the fruitful scientific cooperation between the two countries. The use of medical simulators aimed at teaching and training medical personnel is the main topic addressed in the volume which was edited by Professor Marina Pirckhalava and Dr. Eng. Claudio De Lazzari (IFC-CNR). The teaching and training of medical personnel by means of patient simulators is a hot topic worldwide; accordingly the editors considered the opportunity of collecting relevant experiences not only from Italy and Georgia but also from other countries. I wish to congratulate with the editors and the contributors to this volume for their excellent work and I am sure that this book will become a reference point in the field.

Abstract
In January 2015 a "General Cultural and Scientific Cooperation Agreement" was signed between the Institute of Clinical Physiology (IFC-CNR) of the National Research Council (Italy) and the Teaching University Geomedi (Georgia). For many years, researchers of the Institute of Clinical Physiology, have been studying the problem of simulation in medicine, both from the theoretical and the practical point of view. Cardiovascular and respiratory system modelling has been intensively investigated and several new applications of these models have been tested in the clinical environment, including e-Learning and medical simulation training. The research has also led to the development of new software for an interactive simulation of the cardiovascular system. This theoretical and applicative research activity has been considered of strategic relevance by the Teaching University Geomedi in Georgia and effective synergies have been established between the researchers of the two countries (Italy and Georgia) and an official agreement has been recently signed between the two institutions. The publication of this book stems from an initiative of Professor Marina Pirckhalava, Rector of Teaching University Geomedi. The book is one the first tangible results of the agreement confirms the fruitful scientific cooperation between the two countries. The use of medical simulators aimed at teaching and training medical personnel is the main topic addressed in the volume which was edited by Professor Marina Pirckhalava and Dr. Eng. Claudio De Lazzari (IFC-CNR). The teaching and training of medical personnel by means of patient simulators is a hot topic worldwide; accordingly the editors considered the opportunity of collecting relevant experiences not only from Italy and Georgia but also from other countries. I wish to congratulate with the editors and the contributors to this volume for their excellent work and I am sure that this book will become a reference point in the field.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
