A manikin is a life-sized anatomical human model used in education.

Medical education

Medical simulation mannequins, models or related artefacts such as SimMan^[1] or Harvey^[2] are widely used in medical education.^[3] These are sometimes also referred to as virtual patients.

In first aid courses mannequins may be used to demonstrate methods of giving first aid (e.g., resuscitation).

Transparent manikins, displaying the skeleton and internal organs of the human body in a plastic "skin" shell, have been a staple of science museum displays since 1930.

Emergency services training

Fire and coastguard services use mannequins to practice life-saving procedures. The mannequins have similar weight distribution to a human. Special obese mannequins and horse mannequins have also been made for similar purposes.
