At USF Health CAMLS, Dr. Shannon Bailey, PhD is leading pioneering research in VR-based emergency medical training, transforming how physicians in remote areas develop critical skills. Thanks to support from the Florida High Tech Corridor's Matching Grants Research Program, this initiative is not only driving healthcare innovation but also creating hands-on research opportunities for University of South Florida students. With funding from the Florida High Tech Corridor and National Institutes of Health, students are actively involved in research and development, working alongside industry partners like Tampa-based Immertec to explore emerging technologies in medical education. This experience prepares them for careers at the intersection of healthcare, technology, and innovation. See how Dr. Bailey’s research is shaping the future of healthcare training—and how USF students are playing a vital role! #USFHealth #research #usf #vr #nih #CAMLS #VirtualReality #MedicalEducation #Innovation Colleen Reiner, EdM, PMP Haru Okuda Elizabeth Nelson Paul A.
