Rapid Prototyping of Surgical Simulators using Open Source Simulation Software
|
Larry Burgess , MD Dr. Burgess is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy and the John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii. He is an Otolaryngologist-Head and Neck Surgeon, who recently completed a distinguished career in the Army, where he served as Chief of Surgical Services at Tripler Army Medical Center, and Consultant to the Surgeon General of the Army for Otolaryngology. While in the military, he developed and successfully implemented a web-based core curriculum on military-unique medical topics for all army interns in training. As the Director of the Telehealth Research Institute at the University of Hawaii, he continues a close working relationship with the Department of Defense (DOD) in developing telehealth and advanced medical technologies, while assisting Hawaii and Pacific Rim organizations to improve their telehealth capabilities. The multidisciplinary, high-technology group under his direction also works closely with the Pacific Telehealth and Technology Hui at Tripler and the Veterans Administration (VA), to develop research and operational capability in virtual reality (VR) and simulation. The Simulation Center at the new John A. Burns School of Medicine building in Honolulu is a joint University/DOD/VA project that along with physical manikin training will highlight this VR technology, where both cognitive and procedural VR trainers are being developed. In collaboration with Stanford University, he is leading the development of a VR simulator to train basic surgical skills.
