Project Details
Project Description
PIVOTS is a continuation of the pilot project for online surgical training in the Pacific.
There is a need for continuous and sustainable remote opportunities for education to encourage retention of staff in the Pacific Islands and enhance the delivery of surgical care.
This has become more relevant with the negative effects that the COVID-19 pandemic has causes on visiting teams providing education in low-resource countries such as the Pacific Islands due to travel restrictions.
The PIVOTS project aims to deliver a sustainable solution to provide local trainees and surgeons the opportunity to use simulation-based education and virtual educational methodology with novel technology.
