Under the collaboration, the two will create gastrointestinal endoscopy simulation-based training and curricula, Surgical Science said in a Nov. 30 news release. Surgical Sciences’ Simbionix GI Mentor is currently used for training with upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures.

“The use of GI simulation needs to further evolve, particularity to aid in the standardized attainment of complex procedure skills such as for ERCP and EUS, as they require a high level of technical, cognitive and non-technical competence,” Bret Petersen, MD, president of ASGE, said in the release. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
