• Current applications:
– Patient interview training [UF]
– Mission Rehearsal Exercises [USC]
– Practice Negotiation skills [USC]
Current Work In Progress: VR-EPI Virtual Environments for teaching and training hand hygiene protocols
• Goal: Train health care workers in the five moments of hand washing developed by the WHO.
• Collaborative project with the University of Iowa, School of Medicine.
• Create a 3D simulation in which health care workers can learn and identify the correct moments of hand hygiene.
