Past Projects Examples
The following three examples are
projects for which I wrote proposals
that were funded.
U.S. Army Combat Medic W911QX-12-C-0106
•
Funded by U.S. Army Research Lab – Orlando Florida
•
Primary Goal - Train treatment protocol for the three most
common causes of preventable death on the battlefield:
hemorrhage, airway trauma, and pneumothorax.
•
Secondary Goal – Train combat medics to organize the medic
bag for quick equipment retrieval.
HumanSim Sedation and Airway W81XWH-11-C-0045
•
Funded by TATRC.ORG – Fort Detrick MD
•
Pre-Deployment Anesthesia and Anaphylaxis
•
Physicians deployed to the field need to have the clinical
skills required to administer anesthesia for both rapid
sequence induction and moderate sedation.
•
5 rapid sequence induction and 5 moderate sedation
scenarios expose trainees to military trauma and civilian
surgical cases.
•
Drugs required for proper sedation
are modeled including
contraindications and drug effects.
U.S. Dept. Homeland Security: Zero Hour America’s Medic
• Made in collaboration with GWU Medical Center
• Domestic Preparedness Training for 900,000 U.S. EMS/EMT
first responders
• Tutorial and 4 scenarios
