Simbionix USA Corporation, the world's leading provider of medical education and simulation training, is pleased to announce that advanced virtual reality (VR) simulators now communicate in Chinese, Japanese and Russian, in addition to English.

The new languages are available with the company's new simulator curricula management system, MentorLearn™.

In addition to being an easy-to-use system that facilitates performing the administrative tasks of running a training course or workshop, MentorLearn includes extensive content. The system includes a library of ready-to-use simulator-based courses and a platform to design new training courses. Courses may include online didactic material, proficiency based hands-on training and performance review and assessment. All of the modules descriptions, learning objectives, case medical history and instructions are now available currently in four languages.

Offering our simulators in various languages enhances our global reach and customer support, and will allow for our extensive content to reach additional medical professionals around the globe. This achievement has been very well accepted by our Chinese, Japanese and Russian speaking clients, and we are currently developing additional languages including Spanish."
