Dr. Lohre never set out to be exceptional. He just wanted to be ready. When he began his residency in
orthopedic surgery, he quickly realized that the operating room (OR) wasn’t just where cases were
done—it was where careers were made. While others may have leaned on research papers or academic
accolades, Dr. Lohre focused on something more foundational: preparation.
As a surgical program director, you’re responsible for ensuring your residents receive world-class education while navigating real-world constraints—tight budgets, packed schedules, and varying faculty preferences. A Program Director’s Guide to Evaluating Virtual Reality
Academic orthopedic surgeons are under increasing pressure to preserve case efficiency while also delivering meaningful operative education. Shrinking OR time, rising patient volumes, and the growing complexity of surgical care have made it harder than ever to balance education with performance. Traditional teaching methods, dependent on real-time instruction, are struggling to keep pace with today’s constraints.

During my residency, I assisted a surgeon in performing a femoral nailing procedure. The surgeon handled the critical steps requiring judgment and precision, such as managing the reduction, identifying the correct start point for the guidewire, and inserting it.
When I finished my orthopedic residency, I thought I was ready. I had awards, published a few papers, passed my exams and had a logbook full of cases I had “done”. I realized that there were many procedures I only partially performed or realized I did many of the non-critical steps of the case. But when I stepped into the OR on my own, it hit me like a tonne of bricks.
