Jersey Shore University Medical Center’s Thomas Bauer, M.D., chair of Surgery and chief of Thoracic Surgery, and thoracic surgeons Rachel NeMoyer, M.D., Stuart Campbell, M.D., and Ziad Hanahn, M.D., provided hundreds of students with a unique, hands-on robotic surgery educational experience in October. Monmouth Regional High School STEAM Academy, Ocean Township High School, Donovan Catholic High School, Monmouth University as well as Jersey Shore and Ocean University medical centers’ graduate and undergraduate medical education program students had a chance to drive the state-of-the-art da Vinci surgical robot and advanced Ion Bronchoscopy system. This technology is used by these thoracic surgeons to precisely diagnose and treat lung cancers. The educational sessions were held in medical technology company Intuitive’s Thoracic Oncology Mobile Experience trailer (TOME) at Ocean Place Resort & Spa, Long Branch, NJ.
Da Vinci robotic surgery is provided at medical centers throughout Hackensack Meridian Health, and the Ion system at Hackensack University Medical Center, JFK University Medical Center and Jersey Shore University Medical Center.
