Walk-up testing facility prototype designed by Clemson team.
In medicine and emergency operations alike, experienced practitioners pass down knowledge in a way that expands upon classroom learning. The established surgeon teaches the young resident who in turn teaches the fresh-faced medical student. Experienced firefighters show new fire academy graduates how to deal with real-world situations. There’s a well-worn schedule for bringing the novice up to speed and giving him or her more responsibility.
But how do you widely disseminate knowledge when you’re in the middle of creating something new?
Normally you wouldn’t. In the midst of a pandemic, though, it becomes important to share innovations as they occur. That’s not so easy, but it became a lot easier for MUSC Health’s ambulatory safety and emergency manager when two locals from the National Park Service and Clemson University School of Architecture raised their hands and said they wanted to help.
