Warner, M.D., Chief of Shoulder Service, Professor of Orthopedic Surgery, Harvard Medical School.

Each physician was invited to join the PrecisionOS team because of their individual expertise and will work with PrecisionOS to develop advanced virtual reality (VR) training in their particular interest areas for the shoulder and elbow.

The six surgeons are all highly-respected in the orthopedic community and have either served, or are currently serving, on numerous prestigious organization boards and committees. All six have published extensively, as well as lectured to national and international audiences on their respective areas of expertise while being educators to hundreds of residents and fellows.

“PrecisionOS selected this elite group of shoulder and elbow surgeons to help develop additional virtual reality training and surgery tools for this orthopedic specialty,” said Danny Goel, M.D., CEO, PrecisionOS. “By assembling a cadre of top surgeons and researchers for each type of orthopedic practice to help us, we will also capture the ways different surgeons learn, get different perspectives on how procedures are best taught, and be able to keep updating and adding information in new techniques and technologies to our training modules.”

PrecisionOS’ modules have been scientifically validated, peer reviewed and published in leading medical journals. PrecisionOS also provides a personalized assessment (Precision Scoreâ„¢) on how learners perform on surgical procedures.
