University Of Colorado Trains For Medical Missions In Space
Local students are training for medical missions in space.
BOULDER, Colo. (CBS4)– With a renewed push from NASA to be back on the moon and eventually Mars, there’s attention being put on a new frontier, medicine in space. The University of Colorado Boulder and University of Colorado Anschutz have partnered up to offer a first of its kind course focused on training a new kind of first responder.
“Most of the simulations start with a general mission task,” CU Boulder student Maria Callas said.
Callas is a junior with a focus on aerospace and electrical engineering, she’s also one of the first students to take the medicine in space course, designed to bridge the gap between the two fields.
