SUMMARY
Our mission is to develop and produce realistic training tools that provide the realism demanded by the military and emergency medical domains. Training sessions are effective, both in cost and in educational value, when they can be repeated with minimal interruption - they must serve the greatest number for the greatest amount of time. Training tools need to be a complement to training exercises, not a piece that demands time and attention. To fulfill this objective, NAR Simulation strives to be the industry leader in designing the most cutting edge, rugged, and dependable tools available.
This NAR Associate will participate as a hands-on TEAM member within the Simulations department and help facilitate smooth processes among other team members.
