Special effects + simulation = realistic training

Virtual Reality Medical Center (VRMC) merges special effects with simulation technology at its Center for Injury Creation Science.

Attracted to Metro Orlando because of the strength of the region's simulation and training industry combined with the upcoming University of Central Florida College of Medicine, the company develops prosthetic tissue and wounds for medical training purposes, among several other focus areas. These prosthetics can be adhered to mannequins or human actors and create a realistic training environment for combat medics or first responders.

In addition to its Center for Injury Creation Science located in downtown Orlando, VRMC has a location in Central Florida Research Park with UCF's Institute for Simulation and Training and will soon have another location in Orlando's emerging 'medical city' at Lake Nona.
