The use of robotics is a growing area within the field of surgery, especially in orthopaedics. To date, there is no literature examining orthopaedic trainee perception of or comfort with robotics in orthopaedics. An assessment of the next generation'...
Surgical skill evaluation while performing minimally invasive surgeries is a highly complex task. It is important to objectively assess an individual's technical skills throughout surgical training to monitor progress and to intervene when skills ar...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic surgery is a method of minimally invasive surgery performed through small incisions using a remote robotic console. Surgical residents and attendings participate in simulation training to be able to effectively perform robotic s...
: Residency programs throughout the country each receive hundreds to thousands of applications every year. Holistic review of this many applications is challenging, and to-date, few tools exist to streamline or assist in the process for selecting can...
The technology of artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant in-roads into the field of medicine over the last decade. With surgery being a discipline where repetition is the key to mastery, the scope of AI presents enormous potential for resi...
BACKGROUND: The annual number of robotic surgical procedures is on the rise. Robotic surgery requires unique skills compared to other surgical approaches. Simulation allows basic robot skill acquisition and enhances patient safety. The purpose of thi...
Our artificial intelligence platform facilitated, evaluated, and provided real-time feedback on a standardized, simulated conversation. Learners evaluated the experience as equally effective to traditional education modalities and reported that it re...
In 2018, general surgery topped the number of robotic cases. Over 90% of residents participate, but only 65% of programs have a formal curriculum, and less than half track progress. Many are insufficient at training due to an observational role. This...
