Enhancing surgical instrument assembly training through virtual reality: A case study on laparoscopic forceps
Proper reprocessing of surgical instruments is essential for patient safety and infection prevention. Inadequate assembly can compromise sterilization, delay procedures, and increase the risk of health care-associated infections. Existing training methods for sterilization staff are often informal and lack standardization. The aim is to design and validate a virtual reality (VR) training system to improve the assembly and disassembly skills of laparoscopic forceps among health care professionals.

Congrats to Carii! 👏

She stepped in as an interim, made an impact, and now she’s leading full-time.

At Whitman Partners, we’ve seen it time and again — the right interim leader doesn’t just fill a gap, they prove themselves as the long-term solution.
