Impact of Covid-19 on Surgical Education - Webinar
2020-05-06 16:00 | Online via Zoom
Prospective students interested in applying for the MSc Surgical programmes and surgeons in training are invited to attend.
About This Event
How will the landscape for digital health and medical education look post-COVID-19?
Digital health is disrupting healthcare and education, as a college or a training provider working on digital education, how can you engage in this world for providing technical & non-technical skills training remotely.
In October 2005 Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London launched the world’s first course in acquiring surgical skills by virtual reality simulation to “Globalise & Fast-Track Surgical Training”
During this conversation with Prof Bijendra Patel, we will cover digital education and innovation as a tool to:

Technology enhanced learning for democratisation of surgical education
Improve both technical skills and decision making in surgery remotely
Expand access to surgical skills training by simulation globally
Increase peer to peer self-directed learning
Increase student engagement by using immersive platforms for higher knowledge retention and thus improve efficacy and shorten your learning curve
Address access to education and higher education deficit in surgery
Prevent the surgical education system collapse during current and future crises

Survey: Surgical training during COVID
The COVID-19 outbreak had a significant impact on surgical training. This survey aims to quantify this and help find ways to overcome this. Thank you for taking the time to complete this.
