ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring the use of virtual reality (VR) simulations to help train doctors in spine surgery. The researchers want to see if these patient-specific VR experiences can improve the education of resident and fellow physicians who are learning about spine procedures. By using advanced technology to create 3D models based on actual patients, the hope is that doctors in training can practice and understand surgeries better before performing them on real patients.

If you are a resident or a fellow physician enrolled in a spine surgery training program at a participating site, you may be eligible to take part in this study. There are no specific exclusions, which means most residents and fellows in this field can join. Participants can expect to engage with cutting-edge VR technology, providing a unique opportunity to enhance their surgical skills in a safe and controlled environment. This trial is not yet recruiting, but it represents an exciting step forward in medical education.
