The HSPSC team will use a recently awarded Social Entrepreneurship Accelerator at Duke (SEAD) Research Award to fund a proof-of-concept training session between Duke and Mulago hospital in Kampala, Uganda. We will host inter-professional, interactive games-based simulation training sessions from Durham to Mulago. Our hope is, through this project, to set the stage for distance simulation training in low resource countries. We are seeking an enthusiastic, sensible, and culturally-sensitive student to join the team in Uganda for a 10 day training session; tentative travel dates are March 6-15, 2015. Student participation expectations are listed below.
