2024 AOSSM Annual Meeting Recordings with CME-Concurrent Session C: Back to School

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The medical conference, moderated by Dr. Mary Mulcahy, featured a series of presentations and panel discussions focused on current trends and innovations in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine education. The event included topics like the transition from virtual to in-person interviews for fellowship applicants, advances in surgical training using augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR), and the creation of validated tools to assess surgical skills.<br /><br />Dr. Connor Hoag from Ohio State highlighted a study comparing in-person and virtual interviews for orthopedic sports medicine fellowships. His findings indicated that applicants generally prefer in-person interviews, citing better ability to gauge program culture and fit, despite the higher costs associated with travel. <br /><br />Dr. Ivan Wong discussed the application of AR in teaching complex surgical procedures remotely. He emphasized the potential of AR to enhance surgical training by providing real-time, interactive virtual environments that simulate the operating room experience. <br /><br />Following this, Dr. Anil Ranawat presented on the development of a novel assessment tool for evaluating the surgical skills of orthopedic sports medicine fellows, such as ACL and rotator cuff surgeries. The validation study showed significant improvements in fellows’ performance and efficiency, validating the tool's effectiveness.<br /><br />Dr. Greg McAndry then outlined practical approaches to developing arthroscopic simulation labs, stressing the importance of combining cognitive and technical training, and introducing cost-effective simulation methods.<br /><br />Finally, Dr. Daniel Gole expanded on the use of VR in surgical training, showcasing its capacity to permit realistic, measurable, and repeatable simulations that enhance both technical dexterity and critical decision-making skills without exposing patients to risk.<br /><br />The closing panel, led by Dr. Chuck Bush-Joseph, discussed the evolving role of team physicians and the essential skills needed, including handling failure, resilience, and the importance of soft skills in patient interactions. Panelists stressed the need for a robust mentorship process and shared personal insights on bridging the gap between technical skill mastery and effective team management, ensuring well-rounded development for future orthopedic surgeons.
