Baylor Operative Skills Simulation (BOSS) Center

The Baylor Operative Skills Simulation Center has been devised to be the ideal research setting for cadaveric education

The advanced capabilities of the Baylor Operative Skills Simulation (BOSS) Center allow for a varied and extensive selection of courses and labs to take place.

Our team members are professional and proficient when working with cadaver tissue, and they continually participate in advanced educational training to stay abreast of new developments. The BOSS Center’s lab is able to procure specimens to fit the needs of any course, as well as prepare, store and provide disposition of the specimens.

The BOSS Lab is routinely used by medical students, residents, fellows, attending physicians and medical device companies who wish to improve their skills and test innovative new approaches in the field of surgical care.
