With the capability to replicate exact pathologies, our models address the common limitations of cadaver-based training—such as variability and availability—enabling surgeons to refine their skills and approach each procedure with greater confidence. Connect with us to see how we can tailor our solutions to fit your training needs and overcome the challenges of traditional surgical education.

This one is for all my followers working in healthcare communication and medical visualization. I discovered this remarkable free resource from Toronto General Hospital TVASurg (Toronto Video Atlas of Surgery) https://lnkd.in/e6T5kvSj it's donor funded, and they have a Patreon, so worth supporting if you can. Shoutout to the team there for the great and important work 🙏 Quick warning for the casually curious: the videos contain a mix of 3D animation and live video of surgical procedures to educate doctors and patients, so if seeing video of surgery makes you uncomfortable, you won't want to click the links. Do you know of any other great free video resources for healthcare education? If so, please drop them in the comments. I'd love to compile a list. #healthcarecommunication #medicalvisualization #3Danimation

Fun Fact: The Evolution of Bioskills and Its Impact Over Time! 🦾 Did you know that bioskills training has revolutionized surgical education and patient care over the years? What started as simple anatomical dissections has evolved into advanced, hands-on training that equips surgeons with the skills they need to perform cutting-edge procedures. From early 20th-century cadaver labs to today's high-tech simulations, bioskills training has consistently improved surgical precision, reduced complication rates, and enhanced patient outcomes. It's a critical component of continuing education that empowers surgeons to stay at the forefront of medical innovation. As technology advances, so does the impact of bioskills—ensuring that the surgeons of tomorrow are better prepared than ever. And at the forefront of this evolution, the Association of Bioskills Laboratory Excellence (ABLE) is leading the way. ABLE is committed to setting the standard for bioskills training, driving innovation, and shaping the future of surgical education. The future of surgery is in good hands! #ABLE #Bioskills #SurgicalEducation #MedicalInnovation #BetterPatientOutcomes #ABLELeads

Expectations of medical care are changing fast, and the role of the doctor continues to adapt to meet patient needs. But what does it take to meet the educational and training needs of a developing profession? Adapting a curriculum to embrace technology is part of the answer: from trialing the use of extended reality (XR) to teach anatomy and surgery, to giving students access to a wealth of digital resources to develop their skills, Surrey’s medical students will be prepared to excel in the world of modern medicine. And you could be part of our next cohort. Read more about how we are training the doctors of the future - https://ow.ly/VOpM50SXAnS #SchoolOfMedicine #FutureOfMedicine

Redefining Teamwork with DualView With two independently controlled Head-Mounted Displays, DualView empowers both the lead and assisting surgeons to see the same surgical field in the same high-quality, real-time 3D. Beyond teamwork, DualView is a powerful tool for training. Trainees can learn directly from lead surgeons during procedures, offering real-time, hands-on experience. This shared perspective enhances collaboration and real-time learning. #BHSTechnologies #RoboticScope #DualView #SurgicalEducation #Microsurgery

Fellow Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons, I'd love to hear your thoughts on case documentation! What systems do you find most effective for recording surgical procedures? Do you prefer a traditional hard-copy logbook or the convenience of an e-logbook? Share your experiences and insights in the comments below! I'm particularly interested in learning: Specific methods you use for documenting cases. The pros and cons of hard-copy vs. e-logbooks. Any favorite e-logbook platforms you recommend. Let's create a discussion around best practices for efficient and thorough case documentation in our field!

With our innovative new Operative Guidance feature now available in the Totum digital surgery platform, world-class mentorship is just a few clicks away.

=> This month, we focus on the relevance of Lapco International Assessment to measure surgeons' 👩⚕️ performance and predict clinical outcomes. Evaluating surgeons' learning curves 📈 is crucial for optimising patient safety, effectively allocating resources, assessing training programs, and supporting surgeons' development. Understanding the learning curve ensures healthcare professionals verify that surgeons achieve proficiency before independently performing procedures. 👉 Click https://lnkd.in/ekQgvDdJ here to find out how Lapco performance assessment can predict clinical outcomes. Next month: "Design, Delivery, and Validation of a Trainer Curriculum for the National Laparoscopic Colorectal Training Program in England". About Lapco: Lapco International strives to advance modern surgery by challenging and evolving surgical training practices. Our courses elevate standards of training. Through digital tools, we track progress 🛤 and improve surgical performance. The aim is to shorten the learning curve and improve clinical outcomes.

Look at Wileena getting her study on. Kocher's forceps, which are surgical instruments commonly used for grasping and holding objects during medical procedures. They are named after the German surgeon Emil Theodor Kocher. #Alwaysastudent #sterileprocessing #FutureST #IAMHER #CSPD #Eagertolearn
