CME-CPD

One of the most important steps in curriculum development is the introduction of simulation- based medical teaching and learning. Simulation is a generic term that refers to an artificial representation of a real world process to achieve educational goals ...

With the evolving role of pharmacists and the growing complexity of healthcare, there is a need for interventions and innovations to enhance both individual task and team performance. Simulation-based training is an educational platform with potential in this area.

The UK firm’s VR technology simulates operations to enable surgeons to practice their skills.

“The AAOS strives to ensure that educational programs designed for orthopaedic surgeons meet the criteria of the accreditation requirements of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education,” said Anna Salt Troise, Chief Education Strategist, AAOS. “For the first time, we’re expanding these programs into the VR space to help our members and residents experience and navigate the same visuals, sounds and feelings they would during a real surgical procedure while obtaining CME credits. The Fundamental Surgery TKA simulation does just that by offering both an exciting training opportunity, as well as a look at how VR training is guiding the future.” “Educational sources of learning and member development, such as the AAOS, provide significant value to surgeons in practice and training through quality assured courses, online content and now with our Haptic VR simulations.” said Peter Rainger, Chief Learning Officer of Fundamental VR. “We’re truly delighted to have been awarded accreditation and will continue to work with the AAOS on our library of orthopaedic simulations, ensuring they meet the stringent educational quality criteria, and allowing us to offer training that is valuable for trainees as well as attending surgeons.” About Fundamental Surgery Named as one of the best inventions of 2018 by Time magazine, the Fundamental Surgery platform combines virtual reality (VR) with cutting-edge haptics to create a scalable ‘flight simulator’ experience for surgeons.  They’ll feel the movement and interaction of tissue, muscle and bone which reflects the experience in a procedure, and is proven to support knowledge and surgical skills transfer. Additionally the use of haptics enables highly accurate data capture and subsequent analysis. Fundamental Surgery has a library of tools and tissue variants that mimic real life sensations that have been calibrated by a leading team of surgeons and KOLs. Fundamental Surgery is being developed and deployed in partnership with hospitals and medical device companies in Orthopedics, Ophthalmology, Vascular, Cardiothoracic, General and Neurosurgery.
