K9 Tactical Emergency Medical Simulator (K9TEMS)

Interactive Scenario Modules – Users go through realistic mission‑scenes involving K9 casualties (gunshot wound to dog, blast injury, airway compromise, etc.), choosing their kit, applying interventions and receiving feedback.

Custom Kit Selection & Scope of Practice – The trainee starts by building a bespoke first aid kit with items recommended for K9 care. Their choices determine scenario complexity (basic vs paramedic level).

Procedural Skill Focus – The simulation covers important canine‑specific medical tasks: safe muzzle application, reasons why standard CAT tourniquets may not work for K9, chest needle decompression on a dog, etc.

Mentor‑Guided Format – The learning environment includes a virtual mentor character guiding the user through each step, reinforcing correct techniques and decision‑making.

Online Access & Flexibility – Being an online solution, it’s accessible remotely and doesn’t require physical simulators; ideal for foundational training before live‑hands‑on.

Specialised for K9 Units – Unlike generic human medical training, this tool is tailored specifically for working dogs – their anatomy, injury profiles, medic/handler role interplay, and partner‑care paradigm.
