Bruk av simulatorer og roboter i trening og opplæring innen medisin

Abstract

Increasing interest in patient safety and shortage in training possibilities for new surgeons draw attention to new possibilities for aquiring requested comptetence and skills. In addition, advanced technology and sofisticated procedures are introduced into medicine. To handle this new demand satisfactorily it has been focused on new methods in learning. Recent development in medicine requires quite different skills than conventional surgical techniques, thus, the need for facilitating education and training process is very important. Virtual reality surgical training is an educational method ideal with telemanipulating systems. This paper describes present and future possibilities in training and development in simulation and robotics in medicine.
