The Institute supports the development of research-based medical simulations for healthcare leaders in developing countries, as well as the development of eLearning courses used to train medical professionals in women's cancer best practices.
Institute for Leadership Impact leaders have worked with an international cohort of researchers, academics, physicians, and designers to develop the Virtual Reality Surgery Simulator (VRSS), a low-cost tool designed to accelerate the surgical training process in low-income countries. You can learn more about the project on the Virtual Reality Surgery Simulator website.
