I spent time this month at The Davis Global Center at the University of Nebraska on the Medical Center Campus in Omaha.
I was amazed at the center’s extraordinary leap into a world of precision learning. It offers dramatic increases in the ability to educate and train people to the highest standards.
There are two organizations within the Davis Global Center.
First, is the Global Center for Health Security, which focuses on improving the methods for responding to and treating the most dangerous diseases.
Second, there is a remarkable, indeed amazing, organization which goes by the unusual name of iEXCEL. This stands for Interprofessional Experiential Center for Enduring Learning.
These two systems work synergistically. Each learns from and supports the other. Dr. Pamela Boyers, who leads iEXCEL, explained to me that these two entities share technology, expertise, training, and data on simulations. Some of this includes creating 3D imagery of viruses, patient lungs, medical technologies, and other practical models.
