STRIVE Lab

STRIVE Lab advances surgical training through simulation-based deliberate practice, enabling trainees to achieve proficiency prior to first clinical application and improve patient outcomes. We integrate immersive and emerging technologies, including virtual reality, while intentionally developing cost-effective, scalable training models. Our work is driven by continuous innovation and strengthened through national, international, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

Simulation Programs

Our simulation programs bring together hands-on skills training, virtual reality, and educational research to support residents, faculty, and collaborators across the full spectrum of surgical education.

‍

Research

We study how simulation and immersive technologies can make surgical education more effective, measurable, and accessible, with a focus on practical impact and real-world use.

Facilities

Our simulation facilities are built to support hands-on training, VR-based learning, and collaborative sessions in a flexible, modern environment.
