The End of 'See One, Do One, Teach One
About this episode
This episode explores how virtual reality and AI are transforming surgical education with Dr. Danny Goel.
What if the future of surgical training doesn't happen in the operating room? In this episode of Med Tech Gurus, we sit down with Dr. Danny Goel, orthopedic surgeon, clinical professor at the University of British Columbia, and CEO & co-founder of Precision OS, to explore how virtual reality and AI are transforming surgical education. Today's training environment is under pressure—reduced clinical hours, increasing procedural complexity, and a relentless focus on operating room efficiency are limiting opportunities for hands-on learning. The traditional "see one, do one, teach one" model is no longer enough. Dr. Goel shares how Precision OS is addressing this challenge with immersive VR simulation that allows surgeons to practice procedures on demand, receive objective performance feedback, and improve skills outside the operating room. With over 100+ orthopedic training modules and the ability to capture detailed performance data, the platform is redefining how surgical competency is measured and developed. We explore the shift from subjective evaluation to data-driven skill assessment, the importance of workflow integration for adoption, and how just-in-time training can…
