Surgery should be a cornerstone of public health, yet billions lack access to basic surgery resulting in 10M potentially preventable deaths each year.

How do we make the next generation of surgeons? How do we bring surgery, that is intelligent, digitally enabled and global to address the lack of surgeons on many countries?

In this NextMed Health Talk, Dr. Catherine Mohr, President of the Intuitive Foundation, shares approaches to leverage emerging technologies to democratize access to surgical care. How can exponential technology accelerate the number of surgical practitioners and skill based?

Scaling surgery exponentially needs new non-linear paths of education to accelerate skill based training. From See one, Do one, Teach one... to See one, teach yourself one, and then do one.

Assessment is the key to guided practice and self-assessment is how skill acquisition can scale. A.I. & video can now aid in context-sensitive learning and task deconstruction.

The Global Surgical Training Challenge demonstrated this approach: Surgical simulators were developed for training to master a new skill at any point training from anywhere in the world.... out of the medical school to point of care. https://globalsurgicaltraining.challe...
