National hub for medical simulation

Filed in: Trends , Biotech / Life science , Orange County , Simulation

Already home to growing medical simulation technology, Orlando's 'medical city' at Lake Nona was recently selected as the national site for the Department of Veterans Affairs' Medical Simulation Center for Excellence.

The center, to be located at the new Orlando VA Medical Complex, will serve as the nationwide training and planning home for the VA's new medical simulation system, making our region the focal point for improved care and treatment of veterans across the country.

The Lake Nona site was selected for its unique collaborative environment and ability to partner with the surrounding UCF College of Medicine, Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, MD Anderson Cancer Center Orlando and Nemours Children's Hospital.
