ASSERT Skills Studio 

 
The ASSERT Skills Studio offers a flexible, high-performance environment for developing technical and procedural skills using ex vivo animal tissue and synthetic models. Designed as a stepping stone to advanced cadaveric training, the studio supports foundational and intermediate skills development through structured practice and simulation-based learning. 

Equipped with a wide range of task trainers and synthetic models—from suturing and vascular access to laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques—the ASSERT Skills Studio enables learners to build competence and confidence in a controlled, supportive setting. 

In cases where existing models are inadequate or unavailable, our team collaborates with educators, clinicians, and industry partners to design and develop bespoke synthetic models tailored to specific procedures or learning outcomes. 

Whether you're delivering an established course or co-creating a novel training solution, the ASSERT Skills Studio is a vital platform for simulation, skills acquisition, and innovation in healthcare education.
