Paradigm shift in the medical profession

Dear partners, clients, friends and innovation enthusiasts,

Medicine has always aimed at providing the best possible care for the least amount of patient discomfort. This guideline drives training away from patient care towards simulation, and it pushes treatments from the operating room into the office.

Dr. Robert A. Pedowitz has written a paper on the various simulation training opportunities already available to arthroscopic surgeons, stating that medical training is on the brink of a paradigm shift; in a video interview he discusses the return on investment of simulation training. Meanwhile, the first ever Global Congress on Hysteroscopy campaigned for less invasive treatments and training to make sure all gynecologists gain the needed skills.

This newsletter also introduces a hard working Millennial support engineer, as well as our new tongue-in-cheek animation series that offers improbable life hacks for medical professionals. Furthermore, even though summer in Florida and even Switzerland can get hot, we will be traveling to conferences near you. Drop by and say hello!

Today only around 10% of gynecologists perform hysteroscopy—these are the hysteroscopists. We would like to reach the 90% that are not yet performing hysteroscopy and introduce it as a diagnostic tool.

Paper: Paradigm shift in medical training

Transitioning from centuries old and thoroughly tried training methods is not an easy task, but it is time to move away from the 'see one, do one' approach towards proficiency-based education. The case for simulation training ROI is already there, states Dr. Robert A. Pedowitz in a video interview.
