Dr. Joseph Tauro raises the standard for teaching Advanced Orthopedic Surgery
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) September 28, 2016 -- This month, Dr. Joseph C. Tauro, MD, Director of Ocean County Sports Medicine in Toms River, NJ, is continuing to improve advanced arthroscopic surgical training at the new learning center for the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) in Chicago.
The Copernicus Project, named for the mathematician and astronomer who modeled the universe, will raise the standard for teaching advanced orthopedic surgery. The project, which is entering its fifth year, will establish a proficiency-based model of criteria for doctors to achieve before receiving advanced course certifications.
Dr. Tauro, alongside a team of world-renowned orthopedic surgeons, are devising a model of criteria that will differentiate between a novice and expert orthopedic surgeon, as well as establishing inter-related reliability for evaluators.
“Proficiency based training has proven to be more effective in helping surgeons master new techniques,” said Dr. Tauro. “We hope to gradually institute this type of training for many procedures in the future.”
