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 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
