Surgery Academy is a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) applied to Medical Education, namely Surgery.
We target a market full of opportunities given by a new approach to e-learning: a potentially unlimited number of participants, content open to everyone interested, available anywhere, anytime and on any device connected to the World Wide Web and enriched by the new wave of augmented reality technologies such as Google Glass and Oculus Rift to name a few.
Surgery Academy’s mission is therefore to offer tomorrow’s leading surgeons the best education experience ever, filling the gap between Medical School rigid protocols and the willingness of their students to get access to the most advanced educational content.
Surgery Academy educators are surgeons wearing Google Glasses live streaming their procedures to students enrolled in the MOOC. In addition, students are offered a second layer of information: vital signs, diagnostic imaging and the surgeon’s live comment.
