The team is working with UNMC&#8217;s Interprofessional Experiential Center for Enduring Learning (iEXCEL) on this project. The team also is in early talks with the FBI and Douglas County Sheriff&#8217;s Office to develop similar scenarios for their officers.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Barksdale, M.D., associate professor and research director for the department, and Cynthia Hernandez, M.D., assistant professor in the department, developed the trafficking scenarios. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve always known that if we can capitalize on virtual reality, we can recreate the more rare clinical scenarios,&#8221; said Thang Nguyen, an adjunct faculty instructor with the department and an advanced nurse practitioner for Nebraska Medicine. &#8220;Trafficking is one of those scenarios where I may have personally encountered those victims but not have known I was in that scenario because I had not had formal training.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Making the scenario an immersive VR experience will increase retention, Nguyen said. &#8220;Not only are you immersed in the scenario, you&#8217;re actually standing right next to the patient.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The scenarios feature female actors recreating disease pathologies that might not typically be associated with human trafficking. The scenarios include abdominal pain, painful urination (dysuria) and shortness of breath\/asthma.<\/p>\n<p>The videos will be used to train emergency medicine health professionals on some of the subtle things to be aware of that might be a forewarning that someone is a human trafficking victim. The emergency medicine team recently received a grant and will use the funding to host a lectureship on human trafficking in Japan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;re shooting to have these videos done by the first week of July, because we are planning to take this to Japan,&#8221; Nguyen said. &#8220;Then, we&#8217;ll give Dr. Hernandez time to incorporate these modules into her lectures, and we&#8217;ll roll them out for students for the fall.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UNMC Department of Emergency Medicine teamed with iEXCEL for
