Tune in to an absolutely phenomenal conversation with Dr. Danny Goel, UBC-affiliated upper extremity orthopaedic surgeon and founder of PrecisionOS, a virtual reality software for surgical education. His pioneering innovation is set to revolutionize the traditional model of surgical training, and has been adopted by residency training programs across Canada just in time for the nationwide implementation of CBME. We talk about the germination and evolution of his idea, the non-linear process of innovation, receiving feedback to iteratively improve a project, and how to identify problems worth solving.
