Gaming and Simulations Based Learning: Applications for Medicine
Speaker:
James "Butch" Rosser
Beth Israel Hospital, New York City
WORK SUMMARY:
Dr. Rosser completed his medical training at the University of Mississippi
, and a residency in surgery at Akron General Medical Center. He
began an academic/private practice there, and accepted a position
as Assistant Professor of Surgery at Northeastern Ohio Universities,
where he received the 1991 “Golden Apple Professor of the
Year” award. He pioneered a laparoscopic suturing technique
that he constructed as a game, the Rosser Top Gun suturing program,
on which over 5,000 surgeons have been trained for improved technical
skills.
In 1994, Dr. Rosser was appointed Associate Professor at Yale University
School of Medicine, and Director of the Endo-Laparoscopy Surgery
where he continued developing new applications of laparoscopic surgery,
including bariatric procedures. Based upon his belief that video
game skills and experience were directly related to his success
in performing laparoscopic surgery, he and colleagues began research
that has established this association. At Beth Israel Hospital in
NYC since 2001, Dr. Rosser is Chief of the Minimally Invasive Surgery
Center, and Director of its Advanced Technology Institute (AMTI),
an education and research organization in the Department of Surgery
at Beth Israel Hospital. He has lectured widely, prepared a series
of CD-based instructional materials, and publishes his clinical
and educational reports in leading journals.
