VANCOUVER, Columbia Británica, 22 de junio de 2022. PrecisionOS®, a clinically tested virtual reality surgical training platform, has announced 8 new members to its Resident Advisory Board comprised of distinguished surgical residents from universities across the globe.
The PrecisionOS Resident Advisory Board represents future surgeons who will bring the educational needs of surgical students to the forefront as PrecisionOS continues to propel surgical educational innovation. “This new PrecisionOS student Resident Advisory Board will help us advance student educational needs,” says PrecisionOS Founder, CEO and orthopedic surgeon Danny Goel, M.D. “These specially chosen resident advisory board members will also help us develop content and provide a better understanding of the challenges to overcome in surgical education so graduates of surgical residencies can become more confident and capable surgeons.”
Los ocho nuevos miembros son:
- Liana Tedesco, MD, Centro Médico Irving de la Universidad de Columbia
- Jay Levin, MD, Facultad de Medicina de la Universidad de Duke
- Giscard Adeclat, MD, Escuela de Medicina de Yale
- Marcelo Teixeira, MD, Santo Antônio Hospital
- Christopher Antonacci, MD, Universidad de Connecticut
- Johnathan Lex, MD, Universidad de Toronto, División de Cirugía Ortopédica
- Micah Nieboer, MD, Clínica Mayo, Facultad de Medicina y Ciencias
- Jayd Lukenchuk, MD, Facultad de Medicina Cummings de la Universidad de Calgary
Members of the Resident Advisory Board are enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to the development of Virtual Reality (VR) and surgical education. “I am truly excited to be part of the PrecisionOS Resident Advisory Board,” states Dr. Liana Tedesco, a surgical resident at Columbia University, Irving Medical Center. “As a resident, I have seen where the gaps are and feel VR technology can help fill them. I cannot wait to work with the team on the forefront of new surgical education tools.”
The PrecisionOS simulation offers tailored surgical learning modules supported by learning science and validated in high profile medical journals. A research study in Red JAMA Abierta1 encontró una reducción de casi 50% en los errores quirúrgicos cuando los cirujanos se entrenaron con PrecisionOS. Los investigadores también concluyeron que el entrenamiento de PrecisionOS redujo la curva de aprendizaje hasta en 50 casos, sustituyó casi una hora de tiempo quirúrgico real y es al menos 34 veces menos costoso que los métodos de aprendizaje tradicionales.
Surgical resident at Duke University School of Medicine, Dr. Jay Levin considers PrecisionOS to be “at the forefront of virtual reality technology in orthopaedic surgery education,” and asserts that its technology “allows wholesome preparation for complex procedures, from relevant anatomy to the step-by-step, implant-specific techniques required to obtain successful patient outcomes. I am particularly excited to collaborate with PrecisionOS to aid the growth of virtual reality in surgical education as an everyday tool for case preparation and orthopedic knowledge acquisition.”
