The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, travel restrictions, general hesitancy has drastically reduced these missions, thus putting a pause on exchange skills training countries. Augmented reality (AR) technology can mitigate some obstacles. AR allows mentors mentees work together virtually during live case. Introduction into mission partnerships continuation teamwork, mentorship, learning international teams. We hypothesize that urologic be successfully undertaken through augmented reality. METHODS: In order evaluate this, members our team performed several cases while using Proximie virtual system. system includes console with camera, display monitor, supported computer mentor visualize procedure is being in mentee’s home country provide guidance, visually auditory means, operation. RESULTS: Multiple procedures were accomplished technology. video, we will demonstrate endoscopic as well open mentee Benin United Kingdom States. Mentors able guide entire audio capabilities permitted real time conversation direct verbal feedback. technology’s visual component allowed see multiple views simultaneously including itself endoscopic, fluoroscopic, sonographic images. Visual feedback was possible touch screen capability enabling mark circle specific anatomical locations. CONCLUSIONS: feasible long distance mentor-mentee interactions urology “hands on” training.
