Orthopedic Surgeon, Dr. Grant Garcia discusses future training for orthopedic surgeons, advancement in robotics, sensors, and 3D printing. The role of virtual, augmented, and mixed reality and how costs and choosing a medical provider play a role.
The definition of virtual reality (VR) is… the use of computer modeling and simulation that enables a person to interact with an artificial three-dimensional (3-D) visual or other sensory environment. Dr. Grant Garcia explains how virtual, augmented, and mixed reality is the future and present of orthopedics, from a teaching perspective to a technological one. For example, imagine the world’s greatest doctors operating on a patient from thousands of miles away or a student learning to operate under any scenario before even interacting with their first patient.
From robotics, sensors, costs, accessibility, and even the importance of choosing a medical provider, Dr. Garcia discusses it all. A fun futuristic show that even Stanley Kubrick would love.
