Incorporating New Technology to Create a Comprehensive Realistic Training Environment for the 91W
Abstract
This proposal was one of eleven proposals submitted by Madigan Army Medical Center's Andersen Simulation Center (ASC). The mission of the ASC is to provide an environment where medical training using simulation can improve patient care in real-world clinical and tactical situations. This proposal fits directly into that mission and it has increased our ability to meet that mission. Our first step in developing and implementing our realistic training environment was to develop a collaborative and productive relationship with the target audience, the combat 91W, or more specifically their commanders and training infrastructure. The Battle Command Training Center (BCTC) is responsible for all aspects of virtual and constructive training performed at Fort Lewis. The one area where they lack expertise is medical training and in fact, prior to our joining of forces, they did no medical training whatsoever. We are collaborating with them and the Medical Director of the ASC (Proposal PI) is treated as an equal to the other Program Managers throughout the center. The ASC Medical Director has become their subject matter expert for medical training. We have jointly put on briefings, developed training modules (discussed below) and formed a partnership that has turned heads from Washington state to Washington DC.
