1. A system for simulating a medical procedure comprising:

  • an editor configured to allow a user to customize one or more characteristics of a scene, the scene providing a definition for a customized simulation of a medical procedure;

    a physics module configured to model at least one physical property of a user-defined model of an organic object associated with a patient, the scene comprising the user-defined model of the organic object;

    a display module configured to cause a display of the scene comprising the user-defined model of the organic object;

    a script module configured to;

    execute a user-defined medical procedure script associated with the scene, the user-defined medical procedure script comprising user-defined program code,determine one or more haptic effects based on the user-defined medical procedure script, anddetermine a visual prompt based on the user-defined medical procedure script;

    a simulation module in communication with the physics module, the display module, and the script module, the simulation module configured to;

    receive input from a simulated medical apparatus; and

    execute the customized simulation of the medical procedure based at least in part on the scene, the user-defined model of the organic object, and the user-defined program code of the user-defined medical procedure script, the simulation module configured to cause the one or more haptic effects to be generated and the visual prompt to be displayed based upon the occurrence of a scripted event or the received input.
