The Medical Simulation Development Laboratory (MSDL) builds on the NCCMMS mission by providing a targeted focus on basic and applied research in the medical simulation and related domains.
As such, MSDL has established itself as a center of excellence for medical modeling and simulation research, performing activities such as research and development, consulting and prototype evaluation/implementation.
Currently housed within the Sentara Center for Simulation and Immersive Learning at EVMS, and a part of the Norfolk Innovation Corridor, the MSDL contributes to the economic development of the Hampton Roads region by:
- Creating employment opportunities for medical and engineering professionals.
- Increasing corporate research and development funding in the region.
- Exposing the advantages of the Hampton Roads region to corporate sponsors from outside the region.
- Attracting high-tech industries to Hampton Roads.
