ODU Welcomes Operation Smile

Operation Smile, a worldwide children's charity network, held its annual Physician's Training Program in Norfolk this month. Doctors, nurses and other medical professionals from more than 28 countries attended the training program.

ODU's College of Health Sciences hosted a session in basic life support training that included the use of a "simulator baby" (pictured).

In 2007, ODU and Operation Smile announced a partnership that would allow the charity's volunteer healthcare professionals to train with university faculty in the state-of-the-art Health Sciences Building.
