Role of live streaming surgical video in CVTS residency program in India: a strategy to improve learning curve of surgical residents

Indian J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg. 2023 Nov;39(6):646-650. doi: 10.1007/s12055-023-01607-3. Epub 2023 Sep 30.

Abstract

Recording surgical video is not new in medicine. But not many surgical residency programs in India have this facility. The coronavirus disease (COVID) pandemic made us search for new ways to progress ahead in our surgical careers. We present a way to record surgical videos and live stream them to a select audience comprising surgical residents and faculty, wherever they may be. This may become a standard of teaching once adopted by all top surgical residency programs across the country.
