April 6, 2025 - 07:55

Surgical Technology students at Laurel Ridge Community College are embracing advanced healthcare education with the introduction of cutting-edge LAPSIM® surgical simulators. This week, the innovative training devices were launched at both the Middletown and Fauquier campuses, representing a significant enhancement in the preparation process for students as they gear up for real-world operating room environments.

The LAPSIM® simulators provide a realistic and interactive platform for students to hone their skills in a controlled setting. This hands-on approach allows them to practice various surgical procedures without the risks associated with live surgeries. The introduction of this technology aims to improve the competency and confidence of future surgical technologists, ensuring they are well-equipped to meet the demands of the healthcare industry.

This upgrade in training resources is expected to foster a deeper understanding of surgical techniques and enhance the overall educational experience for students, preparing them for successful careers in the fast-evolving field of surgical technology.
