TouchSurgery app
Improving surgical education through the use of cognitive simulation.
Each operation is broken down into fundamental steps and decision points. The Touch Surgery simulator teaches you each step and decision, and allows you to test yourself.
Register for free to access your test results and see your progress on your surgical learning curve.
Aimed at all grades from medical student to senior resident, Touch Surgery guides you through operations from patient selection, operating room set up and of course the surgical operation itself.
"the science bit...": Touch Surgery provides Cognitive Task Simulation (CTS) - teaching key operative decision making in a way that has been never done before. This allows you to learn, practice and rehearse a surgical operation wherever you are, and whenever you need to. We hope this will improve your surgical training experience, and allow you to be better prepared when you are called to the operating room.
