PrecisionOS©, the leader in immersive virtual reality (iVR) training for healthcare professionals, and The Maine Orthopaedic Review are thrilled to announce a strategic partnership. This collaboration aims to elevate orthopaedic residency education by integrating the PrecisionOS leading-edge VR technology into a specialized training curriculum to be used in preparation for the American Board of Orthopaedic Surgery (ABOS) Part 1 Exam.
The partnership is rooted in the shared mission of advancing orthopaedic education for senior year residents, focused on cementing key skills and knowledge as they move onto subspeciality training as fellows, into practice or recertify. PrecisionOS and The Maine Orthopaedic Review have co-developed a specialized board-focused curriculum that combines the vast library of case-based simulations and the company’s latest and exciting product, The BodyWorks™ Anatomy Studio. This integrated approach reinforces essential surgical skills and anatomical understanding and contextual application in a safe, virtual environment to enhance the learning experience while preparing for exams and ultimately independent practice.
“We are excited to partner with The Maine Orthopaedic Review to create a more comprehensive, immersive, and data-driven approach to preparing orthopaedic residents for the ABOS Part 1 Exam,” said Dr. Danny Goel, CEO of PrecisionOS. “PrecisionOS aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, providing residents with an opportunity to refine their skills and increase their knowledge in a safe and realistic environment. This collaboration underscores our commitment to leveraging virtual reality to advance medical education and improve patient outcomes.”
Many orthopaedic training programs around the country are already integrating PrecisionOS for their residents. For the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years of training, all simulations and content have been meticulously mapped against ACGME milestones, underscoring the platform’s versatility in addressing the comprehensive educational needs of residents across different years of training. This curriculum offers targeted, milestone-based progression, enabling residents to track and achieve key competencies in line with their training objectives. Now, in partnership with The Maine Orthopaedic Review, it brings an additional, and valuable opportunity, for senior residents in preparation for their exams.
“Our mission at The Maine Orthopaedic Review has always been to offer residents the highest quality education in preparation for their exams and future careers,” said Dr. Bruce Gomberg, Co-Director of The Maine Orthopaedic Review. “Integrating PrecisionOS VR technology and its curriculum into our course is the best, most unique, and logical way to enhance the exam preparation experience with a platform that fosters deeper understanding and practical application. This partnership aligns with our 66-year mission to equip residents with the tools they need to excel on their exams and in every aspect of orthopaedic surgery.”
The integration of VR-based training marks a transformative step in orthopaedic education, ensuring that the next generation of surgeons are better equipped, confident, and prepared for the challenges of their profession. Through this partnership, PrecisionOS and The Maine Orthopaedic Review are setting a new standard for preparation not only for examinations, but for the skills needed during practice as an orthopaedic surgeon.
