Abstract :
The process of medical training and evaluation in Brazil has been supported by several resources in order to graduate more qualified students. These resources include atlas, photos, movies, cadavers, animations, real patients, standarized patients(actors) and anatomical manikins, among others. For the reality of medical schools in a developing country as Brazil, high-end manikins are too expensive. This paper describes the validation of the Augmented Reality Environment for Life Support Training (ARLIST) system, built on the top of conventional manikins, used in cloth shops, during three editions of the Selection Exam for the Medical Residence Program of São Lucas Hospital, reaching a total of 450 users of this system. The use of manikins in these exams has showed that there is great potential for using this kind of technology in this process in medical schools, since the results were promising and resources as cadavers and experimental animals are increasingly scarce.
