AFMMAST @ IMSH
The Air Force Medical Modeling and Simulation Training team was on-hand in the Military Expo at IMSH this year to let attendees know about their mission: to build a distributed human patient simulation network, create simulation centers of excellence, and exploit technological innovation. I spoke with LtCol (ret) Shae Peters from AFMMAST who helped explain the benefits of simulation for professional healthcare providers.
Much like rural hospitals which can sometimes have difficulty training healthcare professionals due to infrequency of patient events, AFMMAST has found ways to incorporate simulation to expand the training potential of Air Force Medical professionals. What is especially important to note is how AFMMAST utilized simulation to help expand training efforts even with a shrinking budget across global regions .
