Every makemedical simulator is designed from real patient scans by practicing surgeons — then validated through peer-reviewed research at leading academic institutions.
Research that changed how surgeons train
Discriminating expert from novice, with 100% accuracy
Researchers at Michigan Medicine used the makemedical Fundamentals of Vaginal Surgery (FVS) to study surgical skill progression. The simulator successfully distinguished novice from expert surgeons with 100% accuracy, a key benchmark for any competency-based training program.
"The FVS successfully discriminated between novice and expert surgeons with 100% accuracy."
Fellows rate the pediatric airway simulator highly
A three-institution study (n=14) of incoming pediatric otolaryngology fellows found high Likert-scale ratings for anatomical realism and clinical transferability of the makemedical pediatric airway simulator. Fellows agreed the course was a valuable use of their time.
"All learners agreed or strongly agreed that the course was a valuable use of their time and helped teach technical skills."
Residents improve cleft lip repair technique on the simulator
A multi-institutional study showed that residents trained on the makemedical cleft lip simulator produced measurable improvements in technical performance on objective assessment metrics. The studies focused on simulator-based skill acquisition for cleft lip repair.
"Simulator-based training produced measurable improvements in technical performance on objective assessment metrics."
