🧠 GSST 2026 | Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality & Simulation for Surgical Education

Transforming Surgical Training Through Immersive Technologies

📅 October 26–28, 2026
📍 Boston, Massachusetts, United States and Online

The Global Surgical Science & Technology Conference 2026 (GSST 2026) features a dedicated scientific session on Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Simulation for Surgical Education, focusing on how immersive technologies are reshaping surgical learning, skill acquisition, and team-based training.

This session highlights practical, evidence-based approaches to integrating simulation into surgical education—helping institutions shorten learning curves, standardize competencies, and improve patient safety without clinical risk.

🔍 Key Learning Themes

• AR/VR applications for pre-operative planning and resident training
• Virtual dissection and anatomy simulation platforms
• Immersive operating room environments for team-based rehearsal
• Haptic feedback and cognitive simulation for procedural mastery
• Simulation-based training for rare and high-risk scenarios
• Remote learning platforms and global surgical education models

---

🧪 From Theory to Practice

This session bridges educational theory and real-world implementation. Experts will demonstrate how to design blended simulation curricula combining VR modules, task trainers, and team drills—supported by objective performance metrics rather than time-based assessments.

Participants will learn how to:

• Select simulation scenarios based on complication patterns
• Set competency benchmarks linked to error types
• Deliver structured, psychologically safe feedback
• Align simulation outcomes with credentialing and clinical performance

Operational aspects such as hardware selection, infection control, licensing, scheduling, and faculty development will also be addressed, making this session highly relevant for program directors and institutional leaders.
