Augmented (Microsoft Hololens2) and Virtual Reality (Meta Quest) technologies are becoming ubiquitous in select industries and the gaming community but have not reached widespread use.  The ability for these technologies to enhance surgical training have only begun to be tapped.  There are a number of new headsets from a variety of established technology companies as well as start ups are coming to market.  The challenges for many surgical educators are in content development for these platforms.  We feel that AR/VR will become a critical component of surgical training, providing trainees with opportunities to practice technically challenging components of surgeries before the operating room.  This can also provide established surgeons with opportunities to practice rarely performed skills and may also be used for maintenance of certification.  We will demonstrate training modules in both AR and VR for participants.
