Is there someway for the trainees to do simulations on these machines? You'd think if they can simulate landing the space shuttle, you could simulate doing a surgery.
- spicybright 4y agoI'd actually think a surgery simulator is more difficult than a space one. Kind of like the difference between a kebel space program and an ultra realistic physics and material simulator. I'd be shocked if there wasn't at least a few "games" to practice dexterity and perform device diagnostics.

- sarpeedo 4y agoIn cataract surgery there are three main kinds of simulation I'm aware of. 1. Computerized i.e. Eyesi Surgical Simulator 2. Practice surgery with real equipment on synthetic eyes designed to replicate human tissue 3. Practice surgery with real equipment on human cadaver / pig cadaver eyes Many ophthalmology residency programs use a combination of these for training.
