The Arts and Sciences Communications team recently wrote a robust feature article about a long-term, interdisciplinary research and teaching project between the College of Medicine and ACCAD. This collaboration produced a new virtual reality (VR) system that helps first responders experience a mass casualty incident and triage the victims.

ACCAD research staff members, Vita Berezina-Blackburn and Jeremy Patterson have been keenly involved in the research and creation of this application as have many others listed in the article.  In recent months, Dr. Nicholas Kaman of the OSU College of Medicine has been training local first responders using the VR system.
