Through lectures, participants will learn about the current state of education, limitations of conventional training and the proposed benefits of virtual reality. Participants will also undertake a detailed review of pre-surgical planning, rehearsal and the value of virtual reality in decision making, implant selection and relevant steps for insertion.


Learning Objectives:
  1. To understand conventional surgical training and its limitations;
  2. To appreciate the current state of immersive medical education and how virtual reality can play a significant role for both all members of the healthcare team (including support from industry);
  3. To engage in deliberate practice and pre-surgical planning and discuss evidence supporting the above.
