This impressive site includes Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, the University of Central Florida medical school and Burnett School of Biomedical Sciences, M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Orlando’s Cancer Research Institute, Nemours Children’s Hospital and the Orlando Veterans Affairs Medical Center. Soon it will include the University of Florida, the first major UF facility to be built outside of Gainesville.

Amid all this construction and at the heart of Orlando’s emerging biotech cluster and the economic development it promises is science. To translate the science into advanced clinical care will require the state-of-the-art facilities that are now being built, and the world-class researchers who are pioneering this new venture.

I suggest that there are three additional ingredients necessary for life sciences to flourish in Orlando: The accomplishments of the region must be recognized by peers within the national scientific community; a young, talented work force needs to be recruited; and we must create collaborative opportunities with commercial and nonprofit partners.

This month, Sanford- Burnham Institute hosted a milestone event that jump-started these crucial initiatives by linking Orlando to medical-research powerhouses across the U.S. The institute set the stage for the medical city’s national debut by hosting its inaugural scientific symposium featuring top-tier speakers and 250 scientists from across the U.S.

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.
