We are asking for the highest standards in clinical care and technical skill from our young surgeons while they struggle to support healthcare systems buckling under the strain of the aftermath of the pandemic. Surgical education and training require a paradigm shift in the way we interact, communicate, and educate core knowledge and technical skills. For these reasons, we have partnered with PrecisionOS and CONMED to deliver this virtual reality surgical training event. We are working closely with our VR partners to develop and establish innovative and robust modes of surgical training to upskill and empower the surgeons of the future.”
