Miami Anatomical Research Center

What Miami Anatomical Research Center does

Miami Anatomical Research Center, operating as M.A.R.C. Institute, is a private bioskills training facility headquartered in Doral, Florida. Its core offering is a 40-station scalable wet lab simulating an operating room environment, capable of accommodating up to 200 participants, supported by a 104-seat auditorium, boardrooms, catering, and 7-day reception. The facility provides hands-on cadaveric surgical skills training to physicians, anesthesiologists, dentists, nurses, and physician assistants, and serves medical device companies and professional medical societies for product demonstrations, certification programs, and congress hosting.

The platform layers proprietary and partner technologies onto its physical infrastructure: the SeeFactor CT3™ FDA-approved multi-modality imaging system (deployed via partnership with Epica International), the iMARC Powered by NEO virtual education platform with multi-source broadcasting to up to 99 simultaneous multilingual locations, and the Global Anatomix / Brite-Vu Contrast cadaveric preservation service. The company operates additional jointly-controlled labs in Curitiba and São Paulo, Brazil, through a strategic partnership with Cruzeiro do Sul Educacional and affiliated universities.

M.A.R.C. generates revenue through three streams: per-participant training course fees ($2,000–$3,000 for individual courses such as Cadaver Lab Miami 2024 and Curso Medicina 2024), wet lab and meeting-space rental for medical events and society meetings, and research services supporting cadaver-based projects from design through patent development. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales, augmented by digital marketing, social channels, and university partnerships, with the Brazilian expansion serving as a gateway into Latin American medical education.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• FundamentalVR: FundamentalVR offers haptic-enabled VR surgical simulation with multi-user "HapticVR" environments and FDA Class I certification, partnering with medical device companies and academic centers. An emerging technology-native peer whose immersive simulation competes for the same device-OEM training budgets that M.A.R.C. addresses via cadaveric labs.
• LifeLike BioTissue: LifeLike BioTissue provides preserved cadaveric specimens using its BioTissue technology and custom procedural models, supplying universities and medical device companies. Directly comparable to M.A.R.C.'s cadaveric training services, particularly as an emerging competitor in specimen preservation/contrast (overlapping with Global Anatomix / Brite-Vu).

Direct peers

• Simulab Corporation: Simulab manufactures realistic synthetic tissue task trainers and surgical simulation models used in skills labs, trauma training, and ultrasound-guided procedures. Directly comparable to M.A.R.C.'s surgical skills lab value proposition as an alternative or complement to cadaveric training.
• Surgical Science: Surgical Science develops virtual reality simulators for minimally invasive surgery, endovascular procedures, and endourology used by medical device companies and academic institutions. Directly comparable to M.A.R.C.'s surgical training mission, representing the technology-native alternative to cadaveric wet-lab training.
• Science Care: Science Care is one of the largest non-transplant whole-body donation programs in the U.S., supplying cadavers and bioskills services to medical device companies, hospitals, and research institutions. Comparable to M.A.R.C. as a key supplier and competitor in the cadaveric training ecosystem, often serving as specimen provider to bioskills labs.
• Operative Experience Inc. Operative Experience designs and manufactures high-fidelity human-patient simulators for trauma, surgical, and OB/GYN training used by military and civilian medical institutions. Comparable to M.A.R.C. as an alternative modality for hands-on procedural training targeting overlapping hospital and medical-school buyers.
• VirtaMed: VirtaMed provides high-fidelity virtual reality surgical simulators for orthopedics, gynecology, urology, and laparoscopy, often used by medical device OEMs for product launches. Closely comparable to M.A.R.C. as both target the same device-OEM training budgets for procedural skill development.

Broad incumbents

• Medtronic (Minimally Invasive Therapies Group): Medtronic runs its own dedicated surgeon training centers (e.g., MITG) and partners with bioskills facilities to train physicians on its devices. Comparable to M.A.R.C. as both operate in the medical device training ecosystem, with Medtronic being a major customer category for M.A.R.C.'s services.
• Johnson & Johnson Institute: The J&J Institute operates global professional education centers (e.g., Cincinnati, Tokyo, Hamburg) offering hands-on and digital training across orthopedics, general surgery, and aesthetics. Comparable to M.A.R.C. as a large, established medical education platform that both competes for and complements facility-based training partnerships.
• CAE Healthcare: CAE Healthcare is a global incumbent in healthcare simulation, offering patient simulators, surgical simulation, and center management solutions. Comparable to M.A.R.C. as both serve the medical training market with a blend of physical simulation environments and technology-enabled learning, though CAE operates more broadly across nursing, EMS, and ultrasound simulation.
