2023 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting On-Demand-APP Plenary

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video content features Dr. Joshua Bederson discussing the use of advanced technology in neurosurgery and the role of physician assistants (PAs) in the field. Dr. Bederson highlights the contributions of PAs in patient care, surgery planning, and intraoperative guidance.<br /><br />One aspect discussed is the application of virtual and augmented reality in neurosurgery. These technologies create simulations of patients' anatomy, allowing surgeons to plan and practice surgeries before entering the operating room. This improves surgical precision and enhances patient outcomes.<br /><br />Dr. Bederson also introduces the Advanced Practice Provider Optimization Plan (APOP), developed by PA Leslie Schlechter at Mount Sinai Hospital. APOP focuses on recruiting, onboarding, and optimizing the experience of PAs and nurse practitioners in neurosurgery. The program emphasizes ongoing education, leadership development, and the integration of PAs into the surgical team.<br /><br />The video highlights the importance of PAs in neurosurgery and explores how advanced technology can improve patient care and surgical outcomes.
