- Medical VR Simulation – Medical care provider Fundacio Puigvert (Puigvert Foundation) in Barcelona, Spain partnered with 3D printing and virtual reality company 3D Systems to set up virtual reality simulation lab for medical students taking their residency or post-graduate degrees
- Training Needs – Less than 5% of residents in programs were able to perform major or complex procedures by end of their residency
- 3D Systems Purchase – Purchased simulators Simbionix URO Mentor, LAP Mentor, and RobotiX Mentor for lab to help students practice basic surgical skills and advanced procedures
