According to VasCore, the VTEC team provides hands-on, customized training using the latest image technology, as well as educational techniques required by medical device and pharmaceutical clinical trial sponsors, technologists, and physician investigators. 

VTEC optimizes training to match specific clinical trial sponsor needs, with support available from world-renowned, local medical and academic partners. Customized training will ensure consistent image acquisition across multiple clinical trial sites, which ultimately results in high-quality data and reduced time and expense.

The facilities of VTEC include a modern, reconfigurable classroom; imaging examination rooms; a business center; and a lounge for all-day training sessions or more intimate sessions with healthcare investigators, innovators, policymakers, and trainees from around the world. The exam rooms include the latest ultrasound image technology for basic and advanced training and are connected to the classroom via cutting-edge video communication to allow instructors and students to exchange dialogue in real time. All sessions can be digitally recorded to create enduring materials for future use, noted VasCore.
