For the first time, a 360-degree virtual reality (VR) Continuing Medical Education (CME) accredited course in GI surgery is available for streaming to surgeons and medical professionals.
The course is a collaboration between medical experts at Cedars-Sinai and GIBLIB, the streaming media platform offering a library of on-demand medical lectures and surgical videos in the newest formats.
Employing 4K and 360-degree virtual reality, GIBLIB content closely emulates operating room environments, featuring surgeon points-of-view, and other angles to showcase support provided by the surgical team. While viewing the procedures on a VR headset, course attendees experience a fully immersive, 360-degree panoramic perspective of the operating room complete with multiple angles, including digital overlays such as patient imaging and laparoscopic and robotic camera feeds.
The Essential GI Surgeries course offers 25 hours of high-definition, fully narrated surgical procedures featuring the latest in laparoscopic and robotic techniques demonstrated by experts from Cedars-Sinai.
Each video in the Essential GI Surgeries course is filmed by GIBLIB with surgical precision, incorporating multiple angles, and perspectives with exact edits to highlight the most important aspects of each unique procedure. The course will further shape modern-day surgical theater by scaling the observational learning process for doctors through digital innovation.
