Osso VR announced that its Osso Academy graduate medical education training offering added five new modules to its virtual reality (VR) medical training library.
The modules feature hyper-realistic content in multiple subspecialty areas, according to the company. The latest expansion debuts diagnostic knee arthroscopy and touts Illustrative View, a new assessment tool to visualize performance and better grasp their anatomic understanding.
Along with the arthroscopy module are four additional orthopedic procedures: supracondylar humerus fracture and carpal tunnel release, joining other new content like bi-malleolar ankle fracture and femoral neck fractures. All modules in Osso Academy’s Premium Content Library support the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Milestone and Case Minimum requirements, complementing existing training curricula. The VR module library covers various core specialties, including foot and ankle, arthroplasty, hand, trauma, sports, and spine.
"Healthcare is facing considerable challenges, as we are seeing a shortage of healthcare professionals who must perform an ever-growing number of procedures that are also increasing in complexity,” said Justin Barad, MD, orthopedic surgeon and CEO/co-founder of Osso VR. “Osso’s mission is to democratize access to surgical training around the world. The launch of Osso Academy and subsequent expansion is an example of the investments we’re making to ensure that our upcoming generation of surgeons have access to immersive training and objective assessment, giving them the tools and confidence they need to deliver consistently optimal care for their patients.”
The Osso VR team will present at the upcoming American Academic Orthopaedic Society (AAOS) annual meeting and offer demonstrations throughout the conference.
