1. A patient simulation system for medical training, comprising:
a shell comprising a physical anatomical model of at least a portion of an exterior surface of a patient's body, the shell adapted to be illuminated to provide one or more dynamic images viewable on an outer surface of the shell;
an image system comprising one or more image units adapted to render the one or more dynamic images viewable on the shell;
one or more interface devices located about the patient system to receive input and/or provide output; and
one or more computing units in communication with the one or more image units and the one or more interface devices, the computing units adapted to provide an interactive simulation for medical training;
wherein
a simulated layer of skin is placed over the outer surface of the shell, wherein the simulated layer of skin has one or more of a temperature, a texture and a softness corresponding to a respective temperature, a respective texture, and a respective softness of real skin and wherein the simulated layer of skin is semi-transparent or opaque such that the simulated layer of skin is configured to display the dynamic images from the one or more image units.
