An Internet-Based Framework For Streaming, Stereo Video And Multimedia Content For Use In Medical Education

The observation of surgical procedures is a fundamental cornerstone of surgical education. However, often the training surgeon is limited in their experience by the cases that are present at their institution. Furthermore, in some parts of the developing world, travel to the developed world is prohibitive for cost or political reasons, which further limits the training opportunities for surgeons in these countries. Finally, some procedures, such as cadaveric dissection, are also limited for religious or other reasons and their exclusion from medical training can not be construed as a benefit.
