VR anatomy replaces cadaver-only practice at a regional medical university
Faculty rolled out VARGATES Medical across three first-year cohorts and cut anatomy training costs by more than half within one academic year.
Challenge
Cadaver supply was unreliable and consumables for surgical practice were burning the department budget. Faculty wanted hands-on reps without the procurement headache.
Solution
VARGATES Medical deployed across two labs with 24 headsets. We installed the platform, trained the faculty, and embedded our curriculum into the existing LMS — one contract, one delivery team.
Results
- 60% reduction in cadaver and consumables spend during year one
- 3× more practice attempts per student before clinical rotation
- Faculty satisfaction score: 9.4 / 10 after one semester
