Medical education advances: Using a video game to improve surgeons' skills
February 07, 2008
Many major news media sources have recently reported on research in medical education methods by Kanav Kahol, an assistant professor in the Department of Biomedical Informatics in the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering, and Marshall Smith, a surgeon at Banner Good Samaritan Medical Center in Phoenix.
Kahol is also on the research faculty at Banner Health’s simulation education and training center, which is directed by Smith. They’ve made news by demonstrating how playing certain video games on the Nintendo Wii can help physicians improve some of the motor skills necessary to perform delicate surgery. The gaming console uses a motion-sensitive control to produce a virtual-reality experience.
Kahol and Smith found that surgeons who played the Wii game Marble Mania performed better in simulated surgery than the surgeons who did not play the game.
