Houston Methodist Institute for Technology, Innovation & Education (MITIE^SM) is an innovative simulated clinical care environment that provides hands-on procedural skills training and develops evidence-based processes and management practices.

MITIE^SM is equipped with a suite of research operating rooms and procedural skills labs to test newly developed technologies, devices and procedures in a safe, simulated clinical care setting. Once the efficacy of a new technology or procedure is proven, practicing health care professionals can hone their technique for safe adoption of the new technologies, and then develop processes and management practices to ensure smooth transition of the innovations to the clinic.
