Medisim VR, a Chennai-based healthcare simulation startup, and Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research (SRIHER), have announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a state-of-the-art virtual reality (VR) Skill Training Lab – Centre of Excellence on SRIHER's campus in Chennai.

As a part of the collaboration, Medisim VR will establish an immersive and realistic skill training lab for medical students, nursing students, faculty, and allied healthcare professionals. The lab will offer advanced VR medical simulations, allowing users to practise medical procedures and develop critical clinical skills in a safe and controlled setting.

The new lab is set to benefit students' career development and placement opportunities, as it equips them with hands-on experience, boosting their confidence and expertise in medical procedures.

As a Centre of Excellence (CoE), the simulation lab will play a pivotal role in upskilling medical students, nursing students and healthcare professionals, as well as professionals from other medical colleges across Chennai.  

This collaboration between MediSim VR and SRIHER sets a new precedent for medical colleges to seamlessly integrate VR-based skill training technology into their curriculum and serve as a catalyst for a brighter future in the global healthcare community.
