INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Virtual reality can transport people to places they’ve never been, and can give them experiences they may never have had before.

Now, first responders are using that same technology to help them get ready for the worst of the worst.

Dr. Nicholas Kman is part of a team at The Ohio State College of Medicine that created a cutting-edge virtual reality training program to help paramedics and firefighters prepare for highly intense situations such as bombings, mass shootings, and interstate pileups.

News 8’s Brittany Noble has the details in Tuesday’s Health Spotlight.
