Students practicing 3D printing

Event Recap: ASPIRE and MD Camp Workshops

In June, the EdTech Incubator led immersive workshops on virtual reality (VR) simulations and 3D printing technologies. These events aimed to familiarize undergraduates and high school students with tools that are now being used in the medical field.

The EdTech Incubator Participates in Anatomy Outreach Days

Anatomy Outreach Days through The Ohio State University College of Medicine are a three-day event for high school students from around the Columbus area. Different high schools rotated at stations throughout the Anatomy buildings and the EdTech Incubator (ETI) on the fourth floor of Prior Hall.

Dr. Nassani Reflects on ETI Integration for Dental Course

Dr. Leonardo Nassani, DMD, MBA, assistant professor at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, has a proven formula for effectively integrating multiple EdTech Incubator (ETI) technology zones into his Operative Dentistry 4 course. As part of the course, dental students design dental onlays in a dentistry lab and then learn how to convert their designs into 3D printer-compatible files in the ETI's computer lab.

Digital Dentistry Through 3D Printing

The College of Dentistry here at OSU has once again collaborated with the ETI’s 3D Printing Lab for its “Operative Dentistry 4” course. The ETI was able to further assist Dr. Leo Nassani and his 120 students with the process and design of dental onlays which is essentially a cap that helps restore the structure of teeth after damage.

3D Printed Models Enhance HRS Sonography Instruction

A new approach to ultrasound education has emerged through a recent collaboration between the ETI and Jodi L. Eshleman, sonography program director and instructor at The Ohio State University School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences. Eshleman teaches undergraduate students how to perform ultrasounds on a simulator, including obstetric ultrasounds.

“I saw that many of [the students] were struggling when it came to determining the fetus’ position and situs,” says Eshleman. “I felt like a visual aid would further help them understand.”
