Our first keynote out of the gate is: Butch Rosser...Surgeon. Author, Playwright from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
He dresses well. Walks, talks and prances like a preacher.
Dr. Butch speaks to the idea that over 100,000 people die each year due to medical mistakes.
His idea was researching the idea that surgeons who warm up with video games or use video games prior to surgery actually improves a surgeon's ability to perform, especially with new surgical techniques, related to laproscopy.
His ways to succeed, especially with those that question what you're doing. His response is to crack the toughest nut possible. Find the hardest thing that has to get done and find a process to make it work. He took a 300 hour training process and moved it down to 12 hours. He just said it again...find the DARKEST CORNER. The thing no one wants to do...if you can do that and then show it off, you can also get buy in from others.
His research with training surgeons with a gaming process enabled all surgeons to succeed...no limit on age or knowledge level. Minimized failure rate because of design and use of gaming.
They bring out the Wii from Nintendo...oh, it doesn't work.
The session is interesting because of how it ties the idea of gaming to the idea of learning in a way that shows real efficacy and value.
