The COVID-19 pandemic significantly altered medical student education. The ability for students to be a part of the operating room team was highly restricted. Technology can be used to ensure ongoing surgical education during this time of limited in-person educational opportunities.
We have developed an innovative solution of securely live-streaming surgery with real-time communication between the surgeon and students to allow for ongoing education during the pandemic.
We successfully live-streamed multiple different types of neurosurgical operations utilizing multiple video sources. This method uses inexpensive, universal equipment that can be implemented at any institution to enable virtual education of medical students and other learners.
This technology has facilitated education during this challenging time. This technological set-up for live-streaming surgery has the potential of improving medical and graduate medical education in the future.
COVID-19 大流行极大地改变了医学生的教育方式。学生作为手术室团队成员的能力受到高度限制。在这个面对面教育机会有限的时期，可以利用技术来确保持续的外科教育。
我们开发了一种创新的解决方案，即安全地进行手术直播，并在外科医生和学生之间进行实时交流，以在大流行期间实现持续教育。
我们成功地直播了多种不同类型的神经外科手术，利用了多个视频源。这种方法使用了廉价、通用的设备，任何机构都可以使用这种设备来实现医学生和其他学习者的虚拟教育。
这项技术在这个充满挑战的时期促进了教育。这种用于手术直播的技术设置有可能在未来改善医学和研究生医学教育。
