Members of Mass General and the Harvard residency program will work with PrecisionOS for three years to develop VR for foot and ankle and hand and wrist training programs. 

Once the module is developed, it will be accessible to medical education programs across the globe that use the PrecisionOS platform. 

“MGH is committed to the understanding of orthopedic health while creating novel approaches to foot/ankle and hand/wrist education, technology and innovation. As such, we’re looking forward to the power of the metaverse to help advance our educational priorities,” Mitchel Harris, MD, chief of the department of orthopedic surgery at Massachusetts General Hospital, said in an Oct. 19 press release from PrecisionOS.

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
