While the program was originally designed to assist aging drivers maintain their independence as long as safely possible, the program was quickly expanded to serve a diverse patient population. This CU-ICAR/DriveSafety partnership’s approach to product development supports collaboration among clinicians, teachers and researchers. This program exemplifies CU-ICAR’s mission of research, teaching, outreach and economic development where public and private partnerships among universities, health care facilities and industry work together to increase the quality of life of the citizens in the state of South Carolina and beyond. Please join us for this informative seminar on this very important topic.
