USD Students Gain Interprofessional Experience in Trauma Simulations
Students studying at the University of South Dakota nursing program and the University of South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine participated in trauma and active shooter simulations at the Vermillion and Rapid City campuses last week.
Students learned how to triage, prioritize and stabilize trauma victims in a field setting, including determining which victims to first transport to a hospital.
Students also learned how to work with an interdisciplinary health care team, including first responders like paramedics, flight nurses, and physicians.
