Research Interest
Dr. Burton has interest in fostering the development of Critical Thinking skills and the Master Adaptive Learner behaviors in students.
An Emergency and Disaster Management focal area of interest is in the potential for psychological empowerment of victims and bystanders at mass casualty events, through the “just in time” training of these “First Care Providers”/ “(Time) Zero Providers” under supervision by uniformed First Responders at the scene of a Mass Casualty Incident.
