IVIR Newsletter

This week in IVIR news, we are featuring one of our innovators, Mr. David J. Litteral. David joined the IVIR team with an extensive medical simulation and training background and three decades of service in the U.S. Army as a Combat Medic. As the Principal Investigator, Dave’s knowledge and years of experience are invaluable as he continues to educate the people around him. We had the opportunity to interview David briefly and come to realize he is a comedian. What I mean by that is he likes humor, and as one co-worker stated, “I think Dave just out-geeked us”! Below is additional information we were able to extract from David.

Dave has a Master of Arts in Military History and is a Ph.D. (Psychology) Candidate planning to defend this Fall. He has additional background in educational analysis, EMT-Paramedic, veteran affairs, military operational experience in Korea, Germany, Honduras, and Iraq. Dave is a graduate of the Colorado Emergency Managers’ Academy and had experience conducting county-wide pandemic response training.

IVIR’s current and future programs will benefit from Dave’s expertise as we advance medical education through the use of modeling and simulation.

Married to Charlene for nearly 40 years, two of their three children have followed Dave’s calling to serve in the military. 

So, it’s easy to say David brings years of experience with a hint of satire too! It was a pleasure to speak with David, and if you are attending a conference and see him out and about. Stop by and say hello. Until next time, have a great day!
