The WSU community and public are invited to explore the unseen world of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) professionals through powerful photography and innovative research, featured through “The Hidden Side of EMS” photo exhibition at the Ulrich Museum. There will be a free panel session from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 16 in the Dr. Sam and Jacque Kouri Collection Study Center of the museum and a free closing reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday, April 25 in the museum lobby.
The photo exhibition is a collaboration between the Sedgwick County EMS and WSU, including the School of Art, Design and Creative Industries within the College of Fine Arts and Dr. Laila Cure, an associate professor in the Department of Industrial, Systems and Manufacturing Engineering within the College of Engineering. Dr. Cure’s related research, “ERI: Workload-Informed Operations for Emergency Medical Services and other First-Responder Systems,” and the photo exhibition are funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation.
