Mobile Training Solutions for Physicians

The Surgical Training Institute (STI) provides mobile bio-skills training that allows medical device companies to meet with health care professionals on their home turf. The ability to connect one-on-one with current and potential customers allows companies to more effectively present product lines and familiarize customers with the application of their products. The STI mobile bio-skills laboratory brings your important training and product demonstration sessions directly to your customers, on site, at their location. STI will work with you to maximize your marketing department budget to ensure your training programs provide a high return on investment.

Our Mobile Bio-skills laboratories offer up to eight (8) Surgical stations in a realistic surgical setting, including halogen OR lighting for better surgical viewing, overhead video cameras to create a permanent record of the training procedure, large screen HDTV monitors for instructor presentation, C-arm imaging, and full operational support to ensure your training event runs smoothly.

IDE Study Investigator Training

The recent increase of FDA scrutiny of medical device clinical trial adherence to Good Clinic Practice (GCP) regulations, particularly with concerns related to training investigators in the use of experimental devices prior to human use, has resulted in the FDA issuing many GCP warning letters to medical device manufacturers. To address this growing compliance issue, STI offers training services to support skills training for investigative physicians preparing for initial use of your device in clinical trials. The STI mobile training facility provides a laboratory for your device investigator meeting, and our advanced audiovisual system records a DVD of the investigator training. This provides a level of training documentation for GCP compliance that can be reviewed by the FDA, repeatedly reviewed by the investigator to refresh training, as well as instruct the Sponsor’s clinical research staff on the device use.

Post-Approval Product launch and Sales Force Training

The transition from clinical development to market introduction is critical to a successful medical device product launch. Ideal market introduction requires deployment of an educated marketing and sales staff, as well as a training facility for your physician educators to become familiar with your product. Post marketing training programs can give you valuable information you need to optimize your product’s potential and gain competitive advantages to existing products. To address this vital need, STI is committed to providing the highest level of quality training for both independent contract sales forces and internal corporate marketing and sales personnel.
