In Denmark, physicians undergoing training in vascular surgery must pass a simulation exam before they are allowed to operate on patients. That’s the only right thing to do, says the chief physician at Rigshospitalet hospital.
Within two weeks, the company developed a unit providing medical staff with the training to achieve the necessary proficiency within a few hours.
Surgical Science developed a unique training module that enables clinicians the ability to acquire accurate and rapid lung diagnostic skills using an ultrasound machine. Mobile training sessions are being conducted across Israel to help support the medical community.
