Like almost everything in society, a lack of education is the root cause of these mistakes. Unlike working on a car, surgeons aren’t privileged to testing materials that don’t have goals, aspirations and families waiting for them at home. They are forced to work on dummies and cadavers that, frankly, don’t compare to the real thing when it comes to testing the many facets of a successful surgery. And the numbers are becoming a bit concerning. So, where can surgeons get access to the right educational tools to make these mistakes a little less prevalent? Enter GIBLIB. This platform provides surgeons, residents and even medical students with videos of medical lectures and surgical procedures. Professionals and students alike will have access to everything from knee surgeries to brain surgeries so that real life experience doesn’t have to have unfortunately consequences. As far as content acquisition goes, this Los Angeles-based startup has partnered with educational institutions and esteemed surgeons to cultivate a collection of high quality videos that show real professional getting the job done. They have also teamed with technology institutions to create better, more immersive experiences through the use of 360 degree cameras and virtual reality platforms. GIBLIB is trying to do more than just provide education. As startup ecosystems have proven, a communal environment can go a long way in facilitating growth and developing success. By connecting doctors and students to this convenient means of education, GIBLIB is creating a medical ecosystem that will only get better through the support and knowledge-sharing. Photo: GIBLIB
