FIVE Labs

What FIVE Labs does

FIVE Labs operates the largest bioskills laboratory network in the United States, providing hands-on medical education and training facilities across seven sites: Atlanta, Boston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, San Antonio, San Diego, and Tampa. Founded in 2014 and headquartered in Tampa, Florida as a private LLC, the company equips each facility with didactic learning spaces, surgical bioskills labs (ranging from four lab stations in Los Angeles to thirty-plus in Tampa), auditoriums, dedicated dining areas, and state-of-the-art audio-visual infrastructure with internal and external broadcasting for remote participation. All locations also provide complete anatomical specimen services, fluoroscopy imaging equipment, and concierge-level amenities, supporting training across specialties including cardiology, craniomaxillofacial, neurosurgery, orthopedics, trauma, and urology.

The core offering is physical laboratory facility access for medical education programs, complemented by three consulting service lines: Lab Design/Build (using FAST principles covering functionality, aesthetics, sustainability, and technology), Corporate Lab Management (staffing, training, SOP development, on-site audits, vendor identification), and Association Lab Implementation (integrating hands-on bioskills tracks into medical association meetings). The company markets itself as serving thousands of healthcare professionals annually, with audience reach supported by broadcasting capabilities and positioning as a destination for both national and international visitors.

Revenue is generated through two professional services streams: facility rental for hosted training events (covering usage fees, equipment access, and related services) and project-based consulting engagements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; clients submit requests via a web form, email ([email protected]), or phone (844-777-LABS). Target buyers span healthcare professionals (individual clinicians needing hands-on training), medical associations (seeking to add bioskills programming to meetings), corporate healthcare organizations (needing lab management or build-out), and hospitals and universities (building learning centers of excellence). The go-to-market is primarily enterprise field sales for consulting engagements and event-driven for facility usage, with marketing concentrated on the corporate website and direct contact channels.

Broad incumbents

• Stryker: Stryker operates surgeon-education and product-training centers focused on orthopaedics, endoscopy, and surgical equipment. Comparable to FIVE Labs on the device-company training side, though as part of a much larger medical device portfolio.
• Boston Scientific: Boston Scientific maintains professional education and training programs, including hands-on labs for cardiology, endoscopy, and other specialties served by FIVE Labs. A broad incumbent competing for the same medical-education wallet share via internal facilities.
• CAE Healthcare: CAE Healthcare provides simulation-based training solutions, including patient, interventional, and surgical simulators for healthcare professionals and academic centers. A broader incumbent that addresses adjacent medical-training budgets alongside bioskills facilities like FIVE Labs.
• Medtronic: Medtronic runs its own surgeon education and bioskills facilities (e.g., the Medtronic Training Center network) to train clinicians on its devices. It is a broad incumbent that absorbs in-house training demand that might otherwise flow to third-party venues like FIVE Labs.
• J&J Institute: Johnson & Johnson's professional education arm operates multiple bioskills and surgical training centers globally, hosting hands-on programs for healthcare professionals. It is a broader incumbent in medical education that competes for industry-sponsored training spend, though it sits within a much larger medtech portfolio.

Direct peers

• IRCAD: IRCAD operates multiple surgical training institutes (Strasbourg, Brazil, Taiwan, etc.) focused on minimally invasive and laparoscopic surgery education. Comparable to FIVE Labs as a multi-site, specialty-focused surgical training venue that hosts hands-on courses and industry-sponsored labs.
• AAOS Orthopaedic Learning Center (OLC): The OLC, run by the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons in Rosemont, IL, is a dedicated bioskills training facility hosting hands-on orthopaedic education programs. It is a direct functional peer to FIVE Labs, serving the same association-sponsored, hands-on surgeon training use case.

Emerging players

• Surgical Science: Surgical Science provides virtual reality simulation and software for minimally invasive surgery and endovascular training. It is an emerging, technology-led alternative to physical bioskills labs, increasingly relevant to FIVE Labs' core medical-education market.
• FundamentalVR: FundamentalVR delivers VR-based surgical simulation and haptics for medical training. Comparable to FIVE Labs as an emerging training modality addressing the same hands-on education use case, and a potential substitute or complement for physical bioskills labs.
• Operative Experience: Operative Experience develops high-fidelity, anatomically correct surgical task trainers and simulators for training in trauma, OB/GYN, and general surgery. An emerging, simulation-focused peer addressing similar hands-on surgical training needs as FIVE Labs' network.
