Casualty simulation is the creation of simulated casualties for use in military and civilian medical training scenarios. It was developed during the Second World War to train civil defence workers and is a type of healthcare simulation that is used primarily in prehospital training.

Sometimes casualty simulation is referred to as moulage. The word moulage comes from the French language meaning to shape or mold. Moulage usually refers to three-dimensional makeup like prosthetics.

Casualty Simulation Course

I teach a two day course in Casualty Simulation from time to time. If you are a candidate in one of my courses you can download the pre-course notes here and the Casualty Simulation Techniques Guide using the link on this page. I've posted one of my PowerPoint modules as a PDF (including notes) as an example for anyone interested in the casualty simulation course. Download Casualty simulation - Basic Colour Theory and Blending. This PDF has both the original PowerPoint slides and the notes which accompany the slides. The notes are in the second half of the PDF. I've posted some simulation practice sheets you can download Casualty Simulation Practice sheets. Use my Casualty Simulation Guide as a reference for these practice sheets.
