Do you believe the marketing of this company?

In my experience in a related field, simulators are about 2% as useful as advertised. The cousin thread explains how difficult building a flesh simulator is, so I wouldn't expect surgical experience on a simulator to be very useful.

I've used it, it's pretty good.
