Keynote Address - Dan Hermansen
Dan Hermansen graduated from SUU's College of Natural Sciences in 2012. With the goal of becoming a Physician's Assistant, Dan gained experience at Primary Children's Hospital and the University of Utah Medical Center while furthering his education by earning his Advanced EMT certification. During this time, Dan discovered the field of Medical Illustration and decided, with the support of his wife, to explore a radical shift in career paths. This ultimately landed him in Baltimore where he graduated with a Biomedical Visualization Masters degree from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in 2017. Following graduation, Dan moved back to Southern Utah to start a family and began working remotely as an intern at a small Silicon Valley startup called Osso VR. Seven years later, Dan is now the Director of Clinical Design at Osso VR and has assembled the largest team of medical illustrators in the world, working to change the future of medical education at the world's leading virtual reality surgical training platform.
