Now comes an online bronchoscopy simulator available to anyone who cares to sign on at Thoracic-Anesthesia.com, courtesy of Dr. Peter Slinger and colleagues at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Medicine.

The simulator has been up since April of last year and over 1,000 residents and anesthesiologists have logged on to date.
