Standard Occupational Classification (SOC): Models

Models play an important role in the healthcare industry. They are used for a variety of purposes including education, training, research, and manufacturing.

In education and training, models are used to help students and healthcare professionals learn about anatomy, physiology, and medical procedures. They can range from simple plastic models of the human body to more advanced, interactive models that simulate medical procedures.

In research, models can be used to test the safety and effectiveness of new medical devices and treatments before they are used in patients. This can include creating computer models to simulate the human body and its response to different treatments, as well as physical models of anatomy and medical devices.

In manufacturing, models can be used to create patterns and molds for the production of medical devices, prosthetics, and orthotics. These models can be made from a variety of materials such as wood, metal, plastic, and silicone.

Overall, models play a crucial role in the healthcare industry by helping to improve education and training, advance research, and ensure the safety and effectiveness of medical devices and treatments.
