What MedSim does
MedSim Inc. is a private medical simulation company that develops and sells the UltraSim ultrasound training simulator, a hardware-and-software platform that enables medical students, residents, sonographers, and trainees to practice sonographic examinations on physical mannequins while viewing real-time ultrasound images. The company was founded in 1994 by experts from the aviation simulation, medical, and education fields, and is operationally headquartered in Pembroke Pines, Florida, with an international headquarters in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and an Israeli presence tied to content co-development partnerships with Meir Medical Center and Sharei-Zedek Medical Center.
The core UltraSim product line is built on a library of more than 1,500 clinical scenarios derived from real patient cases, developed under supervision of named academic medical centers including Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, University of Michigan Medical Center, Meir Medical Center, and Sharei-Zedek Medical Center. The system supports full triplex-mode operation, multi-volume loading for expanded anatomy, and a curriculum/practice case classification, and is paired with modular Education Modules covering Abdomen, Obstetrics, Gynecology, Breast, Vascular, Neck, and Emergency Medicine. Supporting hardware includes Full-Torso and Upper-Torso mannequins and 3.5 MHz convex, 7.5 MHz linear, and 5.0 MHz transvaginal probes; CompactSim provides a smaller-footprint variant.
MedSim sells directly to a globally distributed base of more than 1,250 educational institutions, medical centers, community colleges, and government hospitals under a primarily one-time hardware-plus-software license model, with incremental revenue from module and probe add-ons. Pricing is not publicly disclosed, no revenue figures are available, and the company has no disclosed institutional funding beyond a 2007 round from Smac Partners, indicating an independent, founder-led operating posture.
