Medical Simulation Corporation (MSC) is proud to announce that it has been selected by the Duke University Medical Center (DUMC) to provide simulation services for training and education of physicians and healthcare professionals at DUMC. MSC and Duke will open a SimSuite(R) Education Center this summer at the Surgical Education and Activities Laboratory (SEAL) on the Duke campus. The SimSuite will be managed by the Department of Surgery in partnership with the Education Services Department at Duke to support the physician, nursing and allied health training objectives of these distinct teams of excellence.

MSC is a full-service simulation-based education company dedicated to developing competent and confident healthcare professionals who provide high-quality patient care. Because real-life clinical scenarios are simulated, no patients are at risk while healthcare professionals continue to advance their technical and cognitive skills. The opportunity to train in a risk-free environment allows for lessons to be learned without consequence to a patient.

The MSC clinical curriculum focuses on courses for the hospital-based nurse as well as medical and surgical specialists in vascular surgery, cardiology, interventional cardiology, interventional radiology, and emergency medicine. The SimSuite Clinical Educator combines simulation tools, with Web-based curriculum to deliver personalized training experiences to meet each institution's specific educational needs and quality objectives. Course participants may include physicians, physicians-in-training, medical students, nurses, technologists and industry representatives.

Bill Younkes, MSC President and CEO commented, "The MSC team is excited about the opportunity to work with the world-class Duke University Medical Center and its team members. We are pleased to be invited as an integral participant in Duke's mission and commitment to patient care quality and education excellence."
