GeriaSims are interactive "virtual patient" simulations on issues encountered in the care of older patients. Each simulation takes approximately 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete, but the exact time spent will depend on your level of experience and interest in the topic.

To use GeriaSims, a a 256K or faster DSL, cable modem, LAN/Intranet, or other broadband Internet connection; Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, Netscape 8.0 or higher, Firefox 1.0 or higher, Mozilla 1.7.5 or higher, or Safari 1.3 or higher web browser, with JavaScript enabled; version 8 or later of the Flash Player, and Adobe Reader 5 or later are required. A sound card and speakers are recommended. GeriaSims are best viewed at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768, but can be viewed at 800 x 600.
