Title REBMI Claremont Colleges: Student's perspective
Abstract Our project involved evaluating and improving the use of visualization and navigation software in the operating room. We worked with two orthopaedic surgeons, Dr. Mohammad Diab and Dr. Shane Burch, from the University of California, San Francisco. A deep understanding of mathematics and computer science was required in order to integrate preoperative surgical plans with the intra-operative navigation system. Strong interpersonal skills were vital for working with people of varying levels of technical knowledge, including surgeons, engineers, radiologists, technical consultants from biomedical device firms, and hospital staff.
