Contributed to the design and development of multiple versions of a breast examination training simulator in collaboration with the University of Virginia College of Nursing.

The simulator was created to support realistic hands-on instruction for clinical breast examination techniques. It featured lifelike vinyl skin and an internal dense foam structure designed to simulate the feel and composition of breast tissue, giving students and healthcare trainees a more accurate tactile learning experience.

One breast included embedded nodules designed to simulate cancerous lumps that could be detected through proper palpation and examination technique. This allowed instructors to teach both the physical process of examination and the importance of careful, methodical assessment.

The result was a clinically focused training simulator that combined material realism, anatomical intent, and practical educational value to help improve learner confidence and examination proficiency.
