Orlando’s defense training industry has established a task-force working group to help bring high-tech training technologies to the region’s budding Medical City complex, officials said Tuesday.
The new collaboration unit – known in tech lingo as a Special Interest Group – will include experts from the military training industry, academia and healthcare, according to the National Center for Simulation, an industry trade group based in the Central Florida Research Park.
Its goal is to become a key player in pairing the region’s high-tech capabilities with the training demands of the Medical City complex at Lake Nona, which includes the University of Central Florida’s College of Medicine, the Burnham Institute for Medical Research and the new Veterans Administration and Nemours hospitals.
