Accreditation

In 2019, Fundamental Surgery received Continuing Medical Education (CME) accreditation from the American Association of Orthopaedic Surgeons. A full suite of our orthopedic simulations has been awarded 3 credits each by the AAOS.

These include:
● Total Knee Arthroplasty
● Total Hip Arthroplasty (Anterior)
● Total Hip Arthroplasty (Posterior)

“The AAOS strives to ensure that educational programs designed for orthopedic surgeons meet the criteria of the accreditation requirements of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education,” said Anna Salt Troise, Chief Education Strategist, AAOS.

“For the first time, we’re expanding these programs into the VR space to help our members and residents experience and navigate the same visuals, sounds and feelings they would during a real surgical procedure while obtaining CME credits. The Fundamental Surgery TKA simulation does just that by offering both an exciting training opportunity, as well as a look at how VR training is guiding the future.”

We are proud to be recognized by this influential institution and look forward to continuing our work together.
