Company History: Medical Simulation Corporation

Company History

Medical Simulation Corporation (MSC), headquartered in Denver, CO, was founded in 1998. The first hospital-based SimSuite in MSC’s network of SimSuite Education Centers opened in 2002. MSC developed its first commercial manufacturer program for Boston Scientific Corporation in 2003. MSC’s first regulatory agency program was initiated in 2004 with the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). MSC's first societal relationship was with the National Board of Medical Examiners (NBME) and was initiated in 2002. Today, MSC’s industry relationships span from large corporations to start-up companies. Over 100 healthcare professionals have worked with MSC as courseware authors and as education faculty. MSC has delivered training to over 27,000 individuals in over 800 locations worldwide.

Concepts used successfully in aviation simulation led to the creation and evolution of the SimSuite System. The initial focus during early simulation development was on the challenging and continuously evolving area of interventional cardiology. With an interventional foundation in place, simulation courseware branched out into peripheral procedures such as renal and iliac interventions, and into the two-day physician carotid program and the one-day carotid T2® (Team Training) program. MSC has since broadened its curriculum focus to include topics that are critical to patient safety in the hospital setting with a particular emphasis on advanced nursing curriculum.

Today, MSC’s clinical curriculum ranges from high-tech, complex interventional procedures to high-volume general medicine and nursing curriculum. MSC curriculum is delivered via hospital based simulation centers, mobile platforms, and Web-based programs to technicians, nurses, sales professionals, residents, fellows, and experienced physicians.
