Having recently earned international accreditation for its nursing simulation program, UCF is a living example of how we can take healthcare from here to the future.

UCF’s nursing simulation program is among more than 100 programs in 10 countries to receive accreditation from the Society for Simulation in Healthcare, which is the world’s largest healthcare simulation accrediting body.

Charles Hughes, the director of UCF’s Synthetic Reality Lab, also served on the committee that formed the Institute of Simulation and Training in 1982.

The team is using high capacity 3D printers to produce face shields and is developing respirator masks in multiple sizes.

Graduate speech therapy students continue to learn and gain experience, thanks to patient simulation software.

Limbitless is 3D printing visors, a component of the disposable face shield used by many medical workers. Each piece has one of four messages: Hope, Love, Compassion or Thank You.

The data generated can be used to not only virtually recreate a structure but also to rebuild it if it’s ever destroyed.

Karla Badillo-Urquiola ’14 ’15MS strives to break stereotypes through her work and her community activism.

January marks National Mentoring Month, but for one UCF computer science assistant professor, mentorship is a priority all-year-round.
