TRAINING THE NEXT GENERATION OF CLINICIANS TO DELIVER POSITIVE PATIENT OUTCOMES
Air Methods partnered with SimX to better train more EMS students by providing virtual training scenarios.
Problem
Emergency medical providers need frequent, high-fidelity training to maintain clinical skills, but traditional simulation is expensive, logistically complex, and often inaccessible. Many institutions lack the resources or faculty to provide regular, immersive training for their teams.
Solution
SimX partnered with Air Methods to integrate VR simulation into their training programs, offering remote and in-headset education across 250+ virtual patient encounters through the Ascend program. With over 80 experienced physicians facilitating customized VR instruction, Ascend allows learners to engage in scenario-based training tailored to their specific needs—without requiring physical simulation centers.
Outcome
By incorporating SimX VR, Air Methods Ascend has expanded access to high-quality, flexible, and cost-effective training. Learners can now develop critical teamwork and decision-making skills in realistic EMS and critical care scenarios, improving readiness and patient outcomes.

More than 500,000 positive patient outcomes delivered annually by nurses that are better prepared.
