More than ever hospitals, universities, and other institutions must adapt to the evolving landscape of medical education: a landscape which is characterized by online learning and simulation-based education. Let VirtaMed help you incorporate virtual-reality simulation into your educational programs so you can set your trainees up for success while keeping them, and your patients, safe. 
I encourage you to use the portion of your award for Recipient’s Institutional Costs to expand your remote learning programs, build your IT capacity to support such programs, and train faculty and staff to operate effectively in a remote learning environment.
