The way we learn surgery is evolving. Traditional grand rounds have long served as a cornerstone of medical education, an opportunity for experts to share experience, judgment, and decision-making with the next generation of surgeons. But in today’s fast-changing clinical world, observation alone is no longer enough.
Enter Virtual Grand Rounds, a new evolution in surgical education designed to bring immersive, virtual reality surgical training to residents worldwide.
From Watching to Doing
In this modern approach, residents don’t just watch experts—they practice what they see using the PrecisionOS platform. Each Virtual Grand Rounds session begins with a narrated case led by a global expert surgeon, guiding learners through clinical reasoning, anatomy, and decision-making.
But what makes this model truly transformative is what comes next. Residents step into virtual reality to perform the exact same case the expert demonstrated, experiencing fractures, selecting implants, and executing fixation as if in the operating room.
Data Meets Mastery
Soon, learners will compare their performance with expert benchmarks, measuring reduction accuracy, implant positioning, and procedure sequence—bridging the gap from observation to technical skill mastery. This embodies the Watch, Practice, Perform educational loop.
Global Expertise, Local Impact
This initiative connects residents to global surgical experts, making diverse orthopedic techniques accessible on smartphones and VR headsets—training anytime, anywhere.
A New Era of Surgical Training
Virtual Grand Rounds represent a paradigm shift in how surgical readiness is defined, combining expert knowledge, hands-on virtual practice, and performance data to personalize surgical education for every resident.
