Carle Illinois College of Medicine Dean Mark Cohen has been selected to present on the "Applications of Mixed Reality in Clinical Collaborations and Training the Next Generation of Physicians" at the medical XR Bootcamp and Accelerator, medVR.

Dr. Cohen's talk will highlight the growth of Med VR  Mixed reality technologies, especially augmented reality applications in medicine. Two companies recently achieved FDA 510K clearance for clinical use cases, demonstrating the dramatic growth of these technologies, even in the last year. As such it has been even more imperative for clinicians to better understand the application of these technologies to health care and their importance in training the next generation of physicians and physician-innovators. New academic-industry partnerships such as the NSF MIXR and IMMERSIVE centers are leading this charge around how to bridge current technology gaps and increase use and adoption in the clinical environment.

In the upcoming talk, Carle Illinois College of Medicine Dean Mark Cohen will discuss several recent applications and use cases he has participated in and lessons learned through his roles at the University of Michigan and the University of Illinois leading some of these efforts.
