In September, SEAD announced that it was awarding research grants to four exciting university projects that will contribute to our understanding of how to best scale the impact of global health innovation.  One of the projects, “Postpartum Hemorrhage Education via Simulation,” led by an inter-professional team in the Human Simulation and Patient Safety Center (HSPSC) at Duke Medicine, is pioneering the use of scalable, distributable healthcare simulation using commercial game technology with a multi-player module that specifically addresses PPH. Through the SEAD grant, the HSPSC team is funding a proof-of-concept training session between Duke and Mulago hospital in Kampala, Uganda. 

One of SEAD’s core goals is to meaningfully engage students in learning and experimentation around global health innovation, so SEAD was particularly pleased that HSPSC proposed to allow Duke students to compete for a spot on their research team and join them for field work in Uganda in Spring 2015.  HSPSC received applications from students across the university and were thrilled to have the opportunity to meet and interview so many impressive students.  The group ended up selecting Emily Comstock, an MSc in Nursing student, to join their team.  Emily comes to Duke with experience working in Haiti, Kenya, and Uganda, and demonstrated to the team that she had a realistic understanding of the challenges they could face in implementing the project.  Emily is excited about the prospect of working on innovative inter-professional trainings on a topic of great importance in the developing world.  Stay tuned for updates following their work in Uganda in Spring 2015.
