South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard introduced a new mobile hands-on training program, "Simulation in Motion – South Dakota," for rural emergency health care providers. The technology will support providers by bringing training materials to rural areas—including interactive human-patient simulators— and allowing health care personnel to practice techniques and receive instant feedback.

These new simulators blink, breath, cry, and replicate health problems. A coalition led by the South Dakota Department of Health has developed a standardized curriculum to assure uniform educational opportunities for all emergency health care providers.
