*Update 11/19/2020: In November 2020, Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft organization, announced the acquisition of Simulare Medical operations. Simulare offers the training tools able to strengthen Smile Train’s ability to provide company partners across the globe with the highest-quality surgical training efficiently and cost-effectively. Smile Train will incorporate the simulators into the company’s portfolio of training programs around the world, making cleft surgery both safer and less costly.

“As part of our ongoing commitment to train local medical professionals and ensure every cleft patient has the safest, highest quality cleft treatment, assuming control of Simulare Medical’s cleft program was a natural fit for Smile Train,” said Smile Train President and CEO Susannah Schaefer. “Training tools like those offered by Simulare are critical to Smile Train and taking on its operation will allow us to provide our partners with the highest-quality surgical training in a more efficient and cost-effective way, no matter where they are located. We are confident that this will support our continued leadership in cleft lip and palate treatment and to help as many children with cleft as possible.”

Cleft lip, cleft palate, and rhinoplasty surgeries require unique skillsets which professionals have pereviously trained for without the benefit of specialized surgical simulators. No more! Simulare Medical offers specialized surgery simulators, as well as training workshops, to help healthcare professionals around the world better train for cleft and rhinoplasty surgeries. Simulare’s rhinoplasty training program is not part of the Smile Train acquisition and still being run by Len Wechsler, CA, CPA, and his team.
