I have used a much less expensive version of Noelle, I think about $3000. It does not have the computer interactive capabilities of this model. I have found it to be really useful for practicing hand maneuvers for normal birth and for shoulder dystocia.

Subject: Birth Simulator for training Midwives: Anybody experience?
Hello List Members
I'm a lecture in a Midwifery School. We are in the process of expanding
the Skillslab. By this occasion I found a description about a new Birth
simulator "Computer Interactive NOELLE". It is expensive (US Dollar
19,995.00.
My question:
? Does anybody have experience with this simulator?
? Is it worth paying so much monney for a simulator?
Thanks for any answers.
Regards Marianne Haueter
