Training health care professionals and emergency responders on how to handle sudden large-scale catastrophes such as natural disasters, bioterrorism attacks, and outbreaks of infectious diseases has recently taken on a new life.
For the past two years, as part of the Idaho Bio-terrorism Awareness and Preparedness Program (IBAPP), Dr. Ramesh Ramloll, assistant professor at the ISU Institute of Rural Health, has created "Play2Train". It is a virtual world that he designed specifically to meet the distinctive training needs of the professionals who will be on the scene in the event of any large-scale disaster.
