NuVasive plans to open the NuVasive East Coast Experience Center in Englewood, N.J., later this year to expand its educational program, according to a Feb. 8 announcement.
The center, expected to open in the third quarter, expands NuVasive's Clinical Professional Development and surgeon education program and will complement the West Coast Experience Center in San Diego.
"The expansion of NuVasive's CPD program and footprint is reflective of its commitment to enable surgeon training to improve patient outcomes in spine," said Amer Samdani, MD, chief of surgery for Philadelphia-based Shriners Hospitals for Children.
The experience centers provide training for less invasive surgical techniques, rooms equipped with streaming capabilities for virtual learning, and enhanced private research and development labs.
