The OLC has found an incredible way to extend the medical lab training experience beyond the walls of the OLC’s 29-workstation bioskills lab in Rosemont – the OLC Mobile Lab.

Introduced in 2021, this 1,100 sq. ft. mobile lab is custom built to recreate an authentic bioskills training laboratory, that travels as the trailer of a semi, and expands on-site – either inside in a large convention center or outside – to nearly triple in width. As a self-contained lab, physicians and industry team members can arrive, gown up, and immediately start practicing simulated procedures in a well-equipped training environment with full AV Livestreaming capabilities.

Large imaging systems or robotic equipment can be easily brought in through the center doors and with the hydraulic lift gate and changed out for different demonstrations. There’s an option after demonstrating an advanced procedure, new ortho joint replacement or arthroscopic technique, to then conduct small group labs for surgeons to practice this new procedure supported by leading surgeons and industry medical education team members.

With options for multi-camera filming, high-quality audio, and livestreaming to conference attendees in an auditorium, show floor theater or trade show booth, the OLC Mobile Lab is a great choice for association-sponsored educational demonstrations for a medical conference or industry partners to showcase new equipment, implants or procedures with leading surgeons.

Plus, the mobile lab is staffed by the professional lab management team from the OLC Education & Conference Center, bringing an ideal setting for successful physician learning, teaching and training in a convenient mobile environment where needed.
