First POEM course in the New Integrated Simulation Center!

The first POEM course of 2018 was extra special as the live operations portion was held in the newly integrated conference room of the Providence Surgical Simulation Institute (PSSI).  For months, the PSSI has been diligently working on installing the highest technology transmission system for live case projection into the comfort of the center. The new state of the art imaging system with crystal clear live video and audio was great- no delays, no glitches! Participants could physically go to the operating room for live important demonstrations but also spread out comfortably in the conference room with live surgeon audio and extra large high definition monitors showing room view, endoscopic view and endoflip views simultaneously for a comprehensive experience. As an added bonus, between cases, participants enjoyed taking advantage of dry lab activities in the lab such as the overstitch practice station and the ENDOFLIP demonstrations. Great job PSSI! We look forward to many more!
