Imagine a world where your budget has actually decreased by 30%. But, you are tasked to train more people, in less time
And you’re limited to the space and resources of local physical locations with limited training time, equipment, and trainers. Not only that, there are fewer cadets and the morale of your team is at an all-time low. Not to mention that about half your team is still working through stress and trauma from the past 18 months. What if there is an emt training option up to this challenge that is both motivating and affordable?
Benefits Of VR/AR For Emergency Medical Services:
• A VR/AR program will enable EMS responders to potentially accelerate their certification through new emergency medical technology.
• With immersive headsets, first responders can walk through situations that they may face on the job without ever leaving their office or classroom.
• As EMS operations continue to advance EMT training and paramedic course, VR/AR training allows cadets to train more deeply and consistently for complex emergency medical situations.
This Is A Game Changer For Emergency
Virtual Reality (VR) Training is an exciting training alternative for EM
VR Training, also known as Immersive Simulated Environment Training, provides the ability to train medical professionals without needing expensive equipment or timeconsuming practice drills. VR training allows trainers to create an environment that simulates real-life scenarios. VR training has many benefits, including saving money which helps keep costs down and giving individuals more time to focus on critical tasks when delivering emergency medical care!
VR/AR Is Making Training For EMS Affordable!
VR Training is affordable because it can be completed with VR glasses and a computer. This technology has the ability to create environments that closely simulate a real-life scenario without using expensive equipment such as ammo or targets, which saves money.
VR training also allows cadets to practice skills in shorter periods of time, which reduces training costs because they do not have to spend hours practicing drills
Training is a valuable investment for emergency managers. Consider the cost of equipment, coordination, and time away from the job when considering complex emergencies such as mass casualty incidents which can easily run over $200k-$300K depending on how many people are there to help out.
Virtual Reality training allows you to train more people in less time and it’s significantly cheaper than live training options that would otherwise require expensive travel expenses or venue rentals
Plus avoid significant staff hours invested with no guarantee they’re using their skills after the event has passed. Think about all your upfront investments now so we’ll be ready if anything ever happens!
Using Virtual Reality To Prepare For Live Training
Speakers: Dr. Gil Salazar, EMS Physician and Assoc. Prof. of Emergency Medicine at UT
Southwestern, Scott Smith, President, Augmented Training Systems
Scott Smith: Dr. Salazar, how do you normally train for it now?
Dr. Gil Salazar: You know, let me preface my answer by telling you I don’t think that brick and mortar MCI Training is really ever going to go away in terms of Moulages that we do and dressing people up.
Yeah. The problem that I see with modern learners is the motivation to do some pre-lesson learning.So a lot of my students, the majority of them come in cold, apprehensive without a really solid background on what they’re about to do, making the time with us, which is very difficult to prepare and to plan making it less fruitful than we would like.
So they enter training like this. I see I foresee this type of technology being used not just as train somebody, but what a wonderful way to get somebody prepared for an actual training event that is live.
Hear from Austin-Travis County EMS about New Mass Casualty Incident training
Access this ondemand webinar - See a live VR walk through of the MCI training
Augmented Training Systems, with the support from Austin-Travis County EMS,developed a new virtual reality training for mass casualty incidents. This webinar officially introduced the new Mass Casualty Incident (MCI) VR Training with special guests speaking to the training development experience with ATS and the outcomes with cadets
Let's Motivate Cadets For EMT And Paramedic Courses!
Technology has been changing the way we do things for years.
We are more connected than ever before, and it’s changed how people communicate with one another on a global level. The introduction of technology is only going to continue to change our lives in ways that will make us rethink what was possible just a few decades ago
VR is one of those technologies that will change the way we train. Going beyond online learning, VR training allows cadets to experience what it’s like in a real-life scenario without having to be put in harm’s way or spend money on expensive equipment. VR also motivates individuals by doing away with the need for hours of tedious physical drills. Let’s get more EMTs into the national registry!
Candidates Experience Education With An Impact
Course Candidates Senses Are Engaged With Virtual Equipment and Techniques
There are many benefits to using virtual reality and augmented reality trai for Emergency Medical Services. One of the most appealing aspects is that it can actually physically overwhelm users, which speaks volumes about how real the experience may be in a crisis situation.
Most EMT training programs consist of required training curricula which is a combination of classroom, online courses, and rare live training events.
The EMS’s training program has been designed with customization options at multiple levels so they will have their needs met while accelerating their progress towards certification all on an entertaining platform: gaming!
VR/AR makes it easier to train larger groups of people at once
For emergency managers, training can be a difficult process.
They have to find the time for all those trainees and it often takes too long because they need multiple trainers- one per person in attendance. Thankfully, using virtual reality or augmented reality
means that you don’t always need so many people present!
You could use simulations with VR hardware like Oculus Rift or Microsoft HoloLens instead of live actors on stage; this distributive education limits expensive travel costs associated with traditional teaching methods as well and offers more flexibility when your goal is not just to impress but also to educate trainees about hazards at their worksite without putting them directly into harm’s way
Imagine being able to train a large number of people at once. Well, the ability is now within your grasp thanks to virtual reality and augmented reality training.
With access to VR platforms like the ATS HERO Platform from Augmented Training Systems, you can take advantage of a growing library in order to create customized courses that match up with your organization’s needs for larger groups – it doesn’t get any better than this!
Retrain on the way to deployment in complex and rare scenarios
Knowledge Refresh On The Go
These new technologies can be used by an emergency medical technician to train emergency managers on how best to use VR and AR in crisis situations, especially when they are on the way to a disaster.
When disasters happen only once per year or every few years, it is very valuable for them to refresh their skills through training simulations as flexibly as possible so that they may learn along the journey there
This is a new dimension of professional development for emergency care. Every healthcare provider should consider AR and VR as part of their modern EMS skills development. When paramedics train more their education is more complete even during disasters – this will save lives
