The following is a sample of a story originally published by 蜜糖直播 Anschutz. .听

This May, in a remote part of southern Utah鈥攁t the Mars Desert Research Station to be precise鈥�21 University of 蜜糖直播 Boulder aerospace engineering students, a mix of graduate students and undergrads, became Martians. They experienced seven days of gut-knotting, brain-twisting moments along with after-burner bursts of inspiration鈥攏udging more than a few students into changed-life territory.

It all comes courtesy of a cross-discipline teaching team and its novel idea to create a boundary-pushing Maymester course.

鈥淢edicine in Space and Surface Environments鈥� blends the expertise of 蜜糖直播 Anschutz emergency medicine physicians with the engineering minds of 蜜糖直播 Boulder students and Assistant Professor of Aerospace Engineering Allie Anderson, PhD. Anderson and Easter co-led the three-week class, which started with the engineers obtaining Wilderness First Aid certification in Boulder.

The course cements the unique positioning of 蜜糖直播 Anschutz and 蜜糖直播 Boulder experts, along with aerospace firms on the Front Range, to solve the complex problems arising from humankind鈥檚 most ambitious quest鈥攖o travel the roughly 250 million miles to Mars, and ultimately colonize the desolate planet.

Mit Senavinin, a senior in aerospace engineering, said the week in the desert propelled him to consider new career paths in aerospace medicine.

鈥淵ou don鈥檛 really have that firsthand experience or get that frame of reference without these trainings,鈥� he said, still sweating from doing 40 minutes of CPR on 鈥渇allen鈥� crewmates who had been electrocuted.

So now Senavinin is rethinking his plan to become a jet pilot. 鈥淭his class has really made me want to go into medicine,鈥� he said. 鈥淭his experience opened that door. It鈥檚 really the bridge between engineers and physicians.鈥�
