Sponsorship of the entire VAM web site:
Free access to the VAM web site is made possible by corporate sponsorship
and donations that fund the wages of
the VAM team that, in turn, provides web simulations free of charge
to the global anesthesia community. Industry sponsorship helps sustain
the VAM experiment in sustainable philanthropic education. Please
take the time to express your appreciation, if the opportunity presents
itself, to our current sponsors:
A yearly donation of $10,000 will entitle any sponsor to be recognized as supporting the Member's Area of the VAM web site and its continued free use by the global anesthesia community by display of the sponsor's logo on the home page of the VAM web site.
The sponsor's logo will be a clickable link to the home page of the sponsor. We believe that VAM has generated much good will worldwide based on the traffic and comments we have received from our more than 26,000 registered users who appreciate access without charge to high quality simulations. VAM is being used in at least 287 programs worldwide and receives 4,250,000 hits per year. Since April 1, 2002 when we started monitoring it, VAM has been the first listing upon a Google search on "anesthesia machine". We believe that potential sponsors may wish to be associated with the goodwill generated by VAM by sponsoring the site.
Different sponsorship opportunities are available to foundations and corporations.

2. Sponsorship of the airway device section of the VAM web site at $10,000 per year
