Who is VirtaMed?
We believe medical education is powerfully delivered through data-driven simulation. Since 2007, we have developed the leading solutions for training outside the operating room because we believe healthcare professionals should never have to perform a procedure for the first time on a patient.
Thank you for considering VirtaMed for your medical education needs. I look forward to working with you to create a state-of-the-art facility that serves as the hub for immersive learning activities.

Testimonials
ArthroS™
"After the initial investment, the VirtaMed ArthroS™ is a tremendous cost-saver. Every time a resident uses the simulator instead of cadavers or low-fidelity models, it‘s a 200-300 USD savings for the residency program."
Dr. James Bogener, Orthopaedic Residency Program Director
UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI, KANSAS CITY
"“We have assessed all virtual reality arthroscopy simulators on the market, and VirtaMed was clearly the best fit to partner with AANA. The combination of lifelike anatomic models, high-fidelity graphics and original tools adapted for simulation make the VirtaMed ArthroS™ the closest thing to real surgery."
AANA CEO Laura Downes, CAE
ARTHROSCOPY ASSOCIATION OF NORTH AMERICA (AANA)
"Our goal is to improve patient care by advancing education in arthroscopy, and we want to ensure all arthroscopic surgeons have access to high-quality skills training and continuous education. Working with VirtaMed’s first-rate simulators, experienced developers and dedicated education specialists will help us reach that goal."
Dr. Joseph C. Tauro, Orthopaedic Surgeon
AANA LEARNING CENTER COMMITTEE CHAIR
"Do simulators save costs? I think they do, and they save lives. If you do something well a thousand times or ten thousand times, you just get better and better and better, and you remove the margin of error that can cause patients to have poor outcomes."
Dr. John G. Kennedy, Orthopaedic Surgeon
HOSPITAL FOR SPECIAL SURGERY, NEW YORK
LaparoS™
"What stands out is that LaparoS™ includes the whole procedural preparation: the positioning of the patient and the placement of the trocars. Then there is the practical part – the step by step learning across different levels."
Prof. Dieter Hahnloser, Head Physician Visceral Surgery
CHUV LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND
GynoS™
"What I like best about the VirtaMed GynoS™ is the combination of real tactile sensation provided by the pelvic model and the large variety of training scenarios thanks to virtual-reality simulation. We have been working hard to make the feeling of entering the cervix, passing through the internal os, and carefully touching the uterine fundus a life-like experience. At any time of the running procedure, if desired, GynoS™ gives detailed instructions on what to do and what not to do, as well as immediate feedback when something is going wrong. I am convinced that the GynoS™ will improve education in gynecology, and thus enhance patient safety and comfort."
