Surgical Training in Virtual Reality - Dr. Justin Barad, CEO of Osso VR

What this episode covers

Dr. Justin Barad has a sobering and perhaps surprising observation to share on today’s episode of Raise the Line: there is nearly a complete lack of assessment of technical skills for healthcare professionals, surgeons included.

Join Barad and host Jannah Amiel, RN as he explains the three core problems in training and assessment for technical skills in healthcare and how these can be solved using virtual reality. Discover how a background in video game programming influenced Dr. Barad's career path, learn about some of the impressive results his company's technology is already achieving, and stay tuned to check out his advice for healthcare students.
