Discussion: what is Doctrine & Cognitive Task Analysis, Full Spectrum Warrior, as well as Medical Simulation

Doctrine is like a set of strategies in military combat, or rules for a medical procedure. Overall, Doctrine is a guideline to help assist people in situations that aren’t necessarily expendable or accessible for beginners in day to day life.

Cognitive Task Analysis is a method used to break down how experts think and make decisions, so that others can learn from them. It is a method typically used to improve performance in these situations, whether that be for the medical field, or for the military.

A “game” that is now a game but was originally was used to train military personel: is Full Spectrum Warrior. This game included Doctrine tactics to exhibit how one should operate in these situations, as well as exhibited strong Cognitive Task Analysis by putting the player in these realistic environments with a lot going on, with high intensity in an environment that is true to real life as well. This game helps soldiers understand the true risk and reward of decision making in these environments.

Just like how soldiers train in simulations, doctors and nurses also train using realistic scenarios as well. Medical Simulations come in a plethera of forms, as there are so many different fields and procedures available for a person to train with. Overall, these simulations act as training for real life or death scenarios and are very efficient; rather than having someone train on an actual person

  1. medical simulations seem very useful, and I think would help people discover if that is the career they really want to go into as well for people just getting started or considering it
