In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of moulage—the art of creating realistic wounds and injuries—for medical training. But here's the twist: we’re diving into low-cost alternatives for moulage, a method that can sometimes be expensive and time-consuming. We break down how affordable, DIY moulage materials can offer realistic, immersive learning experiences for medical students, and how they are being used in resource-constrained settings. We discuss the benefits, limitations, and innovative approaches to keeping medical education both engaging and budget-friendly. From tissue paper burns to 2D wound tattoos, join us as we explore how creativity is reshaping medical training.
