Whether it’s a school shooting or marathon bombing, combat-type injuries happen at home with alarming frequency. Recently, the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine released a report calling for enhanced military-civilian collaboration to eliminate preventable trauma deaths. This session details the Uniformed Services University’s robust and innovative approach to teaching battlefield trauma, leadership and communications skills to interdisciplinary learners using an array of simulators and techniques, such as human-worn hybrid simulation and patient-perspective video feedback.
