BIO
Mads Emil Jacobsen focuses on training and assessment of basic principles of osteosynthesis, i.e., orthopaedic fracture surgery. In collaboration with a VR developer, we are developing a novel full-immersion VR simulator for basic fracture surgery, including a new Delphi-based approach for developing fully automated simulator assessment.
Mads Emil's future plans are to explore validity evidence for the fully automated assessment tool, created by the consensus of international experts from all continents, on the novel VR simulator. Further in the PhD he aims to translate the simulator assessment tool into a clinical assessment tool and explore transfer of skills from the simulated environment to cadaver surgery.
