The Orlando Sentinel posted a great interview with Tom Baptiste, new chief of the National Center for Simulation, and one of the questions in particular shows great signs for the Lake Nona Medical Center. Below is the question, but click the link to read the full interview.
CFB: What areas of simulation are showing the greatest potential for growth?
Baptiste: In the near term, it has to be medical simulation, especially with the recent decision by the Veteran’s Administration to establish a national center of excellence for medical simulation at the new VA hospital being built at Lake Nona. That decision, and the entire medical-city concept at Lake Nona, is a real bright spot for this region and the simulation industry. I still don’t see the level of funding from the government or the private sector that we’ll need to expand this capability. But I think that is going to grow. The new VA center and other developments are going to help spur that, and the dollars will follow. I think this area has a real opportunity to take the lead in medical simulation.
