\nAn immersive medical education software company is applying its medical-grade virtual reality platform to train surgeons.\u00a0Precision OS Technology\u00a0<\/b><\/a>will partner with the\u00a0Global Spine Congress<\/a>\u00a0in Rio De Janeiro May 20-23 to co-host the first-ever cadaver-less training and education course for spine surgery.<\/p>\n The focus of Precision OS is training and education geared for all levels of surgeons and healthcare providers. In a phone interview,\u00a0Dr. Danny Goel, an orthopedic surgeon who serves as the company CEO and co-founder, explained their approach to personalized learning with performance metrics.<\/p>\n \u201cOur\u00a0fundamental approach has been to enhance, challenge and personalize surgical education and training towards proficiency. Given the impact well trained physicians can have on outcomes, the implications of our platform to deliver on that ability forms the core of our company\u201d\u00a0said Dr Danny Goel.<\/p>\n Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, the company\u2019s platform embraces an approach to training referred to as \u201cdeliberate practice\u201d. Goel explained how learning through a near real life scenario, measuring independent decision making, failure and outcome realization maximizes the output for the learner.\u00a0\u00a0Allowing one to pause, reflect, and evaluate their errors in a safe environment with no patient harm promotes learning while reducing stress. The operating room is a stressful and high-risk environment where both cognitive and psychomotor skills are disadvantaged.\u00a0 Current models can be enhanced with virtual reality but there is a significant difference between these models of learning.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n READ MORE HERE >>>><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An immersive medical education software company is applying its medical-grade virtual reality platform to train surgeons.\u00a0Precision OS Technology\u00a0will partner with the\u00a0Global Spine Congress\u00a0in Rio De Janeiro May 20-23 to co-host the first-ever cadaver-less training and education course for spine surgery.
