Topics?

Hi All,

Can we share what our dissertation topics are for the consortium? I'd like to hear more about what people are working on. My focus is quantitative analysis of surgical skill using tool path data collected from a variety of sources. Anyone else working with skill evaluation?

Welcome to the Medical Simulation and Robotics Doctoral Consortium Blog

A warm welcome to the blog accompanying the NSF sponsored Doctoral Consortium on Medical Simulation and Robotics to be held on March 11th 2010 in Chicago Illinois. The purpose of this blog is to encourage a continuing dialogue between the doctoral candidates and experts on various topics of interest. This is a public blog meant for public discussions. The link to the website of the workshop is at www.medicalsimulationdc.com Visit it for frequent updates!

We will begin the blog with a simple exercise for all the students. Simply register with the blogspot website and start blogging. Ill put up a topic of discussion this weekend
