Med-STA was founded when medical simulation was still an emerging field in German-speaking countries. Today, we are an experienced Austrian provider with more than 25,000 participants trained and a clear purpose: practical training where it matters.
VISION
Our vision is a healthcare system in which every clinical team can respond to emergencies together, confidently and systematically, across organisations, specialties and levels of seniority. A system organised to be a good place both to work and to receive care.
MISSION
Med-STA helps healthcare teams prepare for emergencies. We also help organisations develop the structures and processes that support an effective response, bringing individual experts together as teams and helping create safer workplaces and care environments.
We train in your organisation, with your processes and your team. Our practical, evidence-informed approach aims to help teams apply their learning in everyday work.
