How the Applebaums are training surgeons from around the world. Behind the innovation, the renowned physicians and the leading-edge technology at Beaumont are people like the Applebaums. People who share our belief that patient safety is as important as medical progress. In 2006, the Marcia & Eugene Applebaum Surgical Learning Center opened. A gift that has allowed more than 36,000 health care professionals to advance their medical knowledge at Beaumont. Through their further generosity, we will be able to expand the scope of the facility - making it a state-of-the-art center for hands-on training and simulation technology. This new Marcia & Eugene Applebaum Simulation Learning Institute will enable all levels of learners, from first year students to experienced surgeons, to practice the newest, most advanced surgical procedures. The advanced simulation technology they will provide not only helps physicians and nurses hone their skills in the newest techniques, it also ensures the highest level of precision and patient safety. For every surgical team there has to be a "first time" they perform a new procedure. Thanks to the philanthropy of the Applebaum family, at Beaumont these first efforts are done on robots instead of real patients. There is no doubt that the surgical learning center makes surgery safer than ever before. Not just here in Michigan - but everywhere.
