Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker shares his journey with ANNA, starting in 1991 when he pioneered arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, leading to mentorship by Steve Snyder and publishing the first peer-reviewed article on the topic. He progressed to roles including Learning Center Chair and Board member. Emphasizing surgical simulation over cadaver practice, he highlights benefits like consistency, feedback, and accessibility. ANNA’s Learning Center has partnered with Vertamed to offer various joint simulators, soon portable and remotely deployable. Upcoming modules include knee and shoulder procedures, all based on validated metrics. He encourages involvement with ANNA, especially in surgical simulation education.
