CHICAGO, June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals and Mentice (STO: MNTC) have formed a strategic collaboration to establish a Simulation Center of Excellence uniting Jefferson's world-class interventional radiology team with Mentice's virtual patient technology aiming to elevate clinical training and to introduce advanced Virtual Reality simulation solutions for physicians in clinical practice.

"We are excited to combine the unique abilities of our two organizations to support Jefferson's mission of reimagining health, education and discovery to create unparalleled value," said Dr. Vijay M. Rao, MD, FACR, David C Levin Professor and Chair Department of Radiology at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals. "Our collaboration agreement will define Jefferson's key performance indicators for interventional radiology training and leverage state-of-the-art endovascular simulation technologies by Mentice to help us measure proficiency outcomes," continued Dr. Rao.

"Ultimately, our goal is to utilize Mentice endovascular simulation as a resource for interventional radiology training and to explore the potential impact of endovascular simulation on improving daily clinical practice," said Dr. Ronald Winokur, Associate Professor at Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals. "We will achieve that by utilizing simulation in our residency and fellowship programs and extending the use of simulation to optimize operational, clinical, and safety processes." The collaboration between Jefferson and Mentice is a multi-year agreement where both organizations contribute their respective knowledge and expertise to help promote improved patient outcomes and clinical performance.
