GCSC’s Public Safety Division to Hold an Interprofessional Education Event
March 7 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
Students from the Nursing, Health Sciences, and Public Safety divisions, in conjunction with the Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS) and Digital Media programs, will participate in a shared simulation event to strengthen inter-professional communication skills, clinical proficiency, and collaboration among the various disciplines. More than 500 students and over 50 faculty and staff members are expected to participate in the event.
The event will simulate a helicopter crash in an open-air venue resulting in simulated patients with respiratory distress, trauma, orthopedic, cardiac, and burn type injuries. There may be disruptive activity including loud sirens, smoke, high-speed vehicles, etc., but please note that it is not an actual emergency. This type of exercise allows pre-professional students to put their combined skills to the test and experience a “real-world” situation.
For additional information, please contact Dr. Jennifer Barber at 850.872.3837 or jbarber@gulfcoast.edu
