Telesurgery: providing remote surgical observations for students.
Meeting students' needs for a valuable experience in the OR presents many challenges especially in a non-teaching hospital setting. Creating a means for students to observe surgery from a remote site can meet students' needs without causing scheduling, supervision, or patient care problems for the OR staff members who are hosting the students. Incorporating existing technology and recruiting staff members and physicians who are willing to participate and share their knowledge with students helps to create a valuable experience for all participants.
