We are thrilled to announce that Miyazaki Enterprises has been named the Healthcare Education Company of the Year 2024 by the esteemed Healthcare Business Review.
This award is a significant recognition of our relentless commitment to advancing obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN) residency training through cutting-edge research and technological innovation.
At the core of our mission is a dedication to improving surgical precision and patient safety, and this honor underscores our impactful contributions to the field of medical education.
Miyazaki Enterprises’ Innovative Contributions
The Miya Model™ represents the heart of our commitment to innovation.
Designed to replicate the female pelvic anatomy with incredible accuracy, this model allows residents to gain practical experience before ever entering the operating room. By simulating critical procedures in a lifelike way, the Miya Model™ helps bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and hands-on surgical expertise.
Our dedication to excellence extends beyond model development; we are equally committed to rigorous validation.
Currently, we are leading a nationwide study funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), specifically comparing the surgical outcomes of residents trained with the Miya Model™ against those trained through traditional methods. This research is crucial for demonstrating the real-world effectiveness of our training model.
As Noah Miyazaki, Vice President of Business Development, puts it: “By validating our OR readiness score, we will demonstrate a difference in the skills obtained during training as evidenced in the OR.” His statement reflects our unwavering focus on enhancing surgical education and ensuring the highest level of readiness for medical professionals.
Reflections from Leadership
Our founder, Dr. Douglas Miyazaki, has spent his career driving advancements in OB/GYN surgical education. Inspired by his father, Dr. Fred Miyazaki—an innovator in the field—Dr. Douglas Miyazaki developed the Miya Model™ to address the skills gap he observed among residents during his own training.
His passion for elevating surgical education and improving patient outcomes remains a guiding force for our company.
“Our goal is to use the Miya Model, our journey, and prior research as a baseline to empower OB/GYNs to be their advocates and take charge of their training at their institutions,” shares Noah Miyazaki.
This ethos drives our team to create meaningful solutions that equip physicians with the skills they need for a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
What This Means for the Future
Looking ahead, this award inspires us to continue pushing the boundaries of innovation in healthcare education. We are excited about the future, which includes expanding our collaborations with medical institutions, launching new academic courses, and further validating the Miya Model™ through research partnerships.
Our mission is to empower a new generation of OB/GYN professionals with the confidence and expertise to provide exceptional patient care. We remain committed to our vision: advancing surgical education through validated, effective, and accessible training solutions that will shape the future of medical education.
