Interesting recent print projects from Missouri
Poster presented at Interdisciplinary BioMedical Research Symposium (IBRS)
The poster “Innovation Spine And Pelvic Models For The Joint Injection Techniques Training” was presented at the IBRS 2019 during Founder’s Day activities in Missouri. This research poster represents the hard work of not just the library’s 3D print shop, but also Spark Tank winners Marcus Matson, OMS III, KCOM, Debra Loguda-Summers, and Zachary Headman, OMS III, KCOM, along with Robert Schneider, DO, residency supervisor; James Potter, DO, associate professor; and Tatyana Kondrashova, PhD, associate professor.
Spark Tank project
Recently, Debra Loguda-Summers, public services & 3D print services manager; along with Zachary Headman, OSM III, KCOM; and Marcus Matson, OMS III, KCOM; and Jamie Caroll, academic technology; began working with A.T. Still University (ATSU) to apply for a patent for their SparkTank project titled “3D Printed Cervical, Lumbar, and Pelvic Models for Injection Placement Training.”
These models, produced with the library’s F170 3D printer and academic technology’s Afinia H800+ printers allows students to learn and perfect various injection procedures. Working with Drs. Potter, Schneider, and Kondrashova, a survey was developed to track the student’s usage and comments, and a research project was designed around these models. The research data will be presented at the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine conference in Washington, D.C. in 2019.
