MADISON,
Wis., Sept. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Accuray
Incorporated (NASDAQ: ARAY) announced today that the company has
opened the doors of its new global training facility, the Accuray
Center for Education, located at its corporate headquarters in
Madison, Wisconsin. The facility
is designed for the future and will feature several fully-capable
Accuray radiation therapy systems specifically for training, lab
spaces with advanced remote learning capabilities and a hybrid,
in-person with remote connection option that will enable multiple
members of a medical care team to participate in the same course,
at the same time, from different locations.
Learning opportunities begin early in the Accuray
CyberKnife®, TomoTherapy® and
Radixact® System installation process and continue
throughout the life of the devices, making it possible for
healthcare practitioners to access the information they need to
consistently offer their patients the best possible care. Different
education modalities - from in-person at the Accuray facility to
on-site and self-paced, remote – enable medical teams to choose
when and how they learn.
"Our customers are passionate about improving the lives of
people diagnosed with cancer and certain neurologic conditions.
That's why we work hand-in-hand with them to help ensure they get
the most out of their Accuray products and are able to provide
their patients with the highest quality treatments. Education – not
just one course but ongoing opportunities for knowledge sharing –
is key to making this happen. We are committed to delivering the
optimal learning experience for our customers and believe our
robust education program, with our new Madison training facility, will do just that,"
said Suzanne Winter, president and
CEO of Accuray.
