An article published in Carolina Scientific by Jeffrey Young describes the Ramphal Cardiac Surgery Simulator (RCSS). The RCSS was invented by Dr. Paul Ramphal and colleagues at the University of the West Indies Mona in 2001 and published in the European Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery in 2005 (Euro J Cardiothorac Surg 27(5):910-916, 2005). It lay dormant until January 2008, when it was reactivated by Dr. Feins under sponsorship of the American Board of Thoracic Surgery and the University of North Carolina.
Training utilizing this simulator takes place in the CLeAR Lab.
