“The facility is outstanding, the staff is friendly and professional. State of the art equipment both from an audiovisual standpoint as well as from a cadaveric lab standpoint, has exceeded my expectations. I look forward to working at the MARC and with their staff for years to come!”

“The staff at the MARC are beyond excellent. They provide terrific administrative support and are always flexible to our company needs".

I am currently working in the Aesculap Academy as a Programs Manager for 13 years.  I enjoy the interaction with marketing, surgeons and lab personnel.  One of my favorite parts about working at Aesculap is knowing that the products we make affect and help so many people. What we do is important, and not everyone can say that.

My job keeps me on my toes. I like knowing I can have a positive impact on both Aesculap, surgeons and the employees I work with daily. I am the eyes, ears and voice for the company and our employees – and I pride myself in ensuring everyone is given the tools to be successful. Working toward that goal makes me want to work harder in everything I do.

To me, each day working at Aesculap provides me with new challenges and new things to discover. 

On a daily basis, I create new processes to help make our team more productive. It’s saving a person’s life – our company’s vision – and our values that first sold me on Aesculap. And when I came on board, I realized they weren’t just words on a wall, but ones we live by. Working toward that goal, and having our team by my side, is what makes work more than just a job.

It’s unique to work for an organization that shares the same values I believe in, and I take pride in working here.

Some medical procedures should be first taught in cadavers in order to avoid future injuries in patients during a procedure. It protects the patients from injuries and doctors from medical errors. The cadaver is irreplaceable, even when students use an atlas book. Most atlas book are made of drawings, they don’t replace the reality of the cadaver. Books offer a 2D vision of the anatomy, and the cadavers offer a 3D vision and also many other learning opportunities. Training medical procedures in fresh frozen cadavers is something that can contribute for a fast professional growing. After having procedures done in well preserved specimens they can be dissected to check the range and accuracy of your treatment. This is something impossible to do in patients.
