Students Presley King and Anna Clair Sanders, guided by D’Iberville High School Teacher Marcie Keen and Brad Belford, an Air Force medical modeling and simulation training operator at Keesler Medical Center, Biloxi, Miss., participate in an inaugural manikin-based training scenario at D’Iberville High School.

Belford helped the team unpack and assemble the manikin and assisted in the training. During the training, the students auscultated the blood pressure, breathing, and heart sounds, simulating real-world medical experiences. Belford provides critical support to the D’Iberville High School health sciences program.
