Medical Sales College is now offering PrecisionOS® Virtual Reality (VR) training modules for orthopedic surgery procedures to young professionals interested in a career in medical device sales.
PrecisionOS’ immersive virtual reality (VR) platform has achieved all five industry benchmarks cited by simulation experts for validation of training through multiple, independent, randomized controlled trials published in major medical journals.
PrecisionOS, has retained Richard E. Mayer, Distinguished Professor of Psychology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, to join the company’s Scientific Advisory Board. Dr. Mayer will provide advice concerning scientifically based instructional design for the company’s virtual reality (VR) training modules for surgeons.
All six surgeons are highly-respected in their area of expertise and have either served, or are currently serving, on numerous prestigious organizations and committees in the sports medicine area.
The six surgeons are all highly-respected in the orthopedic community and have either served, or are currently serving, on numerous prestigious organization boards and committees. All six have published extensively, as well as lectured to national and international audiences on their respective areas of expertise while being educators to hundreds of residents and fellows.
Outline of study: a 15-year-old patient presented with chronic groin and leg pain. The treating surgeon diagnosed the young man with slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and undertook a percutaneous pinning procedure (placing an implant into the hip), halting the surgery due to difficulty with visualization of the leg bone structure and interpretation. The surgeon later returned the patient to the operating room (OR) for a second attempt which was also unsuccessful. These two failed surgical attempts involved significant doses of anesthetic and radiation.
Delaney’s special interest is the shoulder, which is the entire focus of her practice, and will work with PrecisionOS to develop advanced virtual reality (VR) training in this interest area.
InVisionOS is a next generation patient specific planning tool. InVisionOS software automatically converts the patient’s computed tomography (CT) scan from any PACS system into a 3D reconstruction within seconds. Surgeons can then use the Oculus Quest 2 to view, manipulate and isolate relevant anatomical areas prior to performing the actual surgical procedure.
The PrecisionOS Learning VR Simulation has been selected by NuVasive to help the company expand remote access to a hands-on learning experience. NuVasive will be showcasing the module and development at the SMISS meeting this week (October 28-30) in Las Vegas.
