this is so cool. it’s the closest one could get to the real thing… very innovatve and helpful to students…
Fascinating. Our attendings have been telling us that models like these will become a reality for training but we’ve been skeptical. I wonder how long it will take before they become a regular part of surgical training for interns and junior residents…
