Michael Lampe, EdD, is a Renaissance man when it comes to technology and learning. As program director of digital education and academic technology in the School of Dental Medicine, he is charged with bringing the latest tools and tech to a CU Anschutz education.
He was instrumental in launching the Dental Advanced Simulation Hub (DASH), creating patient avatars with unique medical and dental histories, backgrounds, personalities, social habits and hobbies to provide dental students with realistic interactions. He also helped launch the school’s annual haptics competition and virtual reality mindfulness sessions.
