Research Interests: Dr. Alverson is a Professor of Pediatrics and UNM Regents' Professor on faculty at the University of New Mexico, School of Medicine. He has been an investigator on a number of Telehealth research programs, including Project TOUCH (Telehealth Outreach for Unified Community Health), a joint collaborative effort with the University of Hawaii, the University of New Mexico and the Maui and UNM High Performance Computing Centers, incorporating virtual reality simulation and virtual collaboration over the Next Generation Internet Access Grid that can support "just-in-time" team training or "serious games" in which people can participate together in a virtual world even if they're 1000's of miles apart. More recently the Uniform Services University National Capital Area Medical Simulation Center has joined in this effort in conjunction with the Telemedicine and Advanced Technology Research Center (TATRC) at the US Army Medical Research and Material Command (USAMRMC), Ft. Detrick, MD. He is also on the Board of Advanced Initiatives in Medical Simulation (AIMS) to promote the integration of simulation in healthcare for education, training and performance assessment.
