This study examines whether opening new medical residency programs improves health outcomes. Comparing counties with and without new residency programs, the research found that mortality rates fall by 4.8% where programs are introduced. However, similar benefits were not observed in rural areas, highlighting the importance of healthcare infrastructure and training location.

This research investigates the role of force feedback in virtual reality training. By comparing users with and without haptic feedback, it examines effects on brain activity, skill acquisition, and real-world performance. The study aims to improve VR training systems by incorporating sensory input essential for effective motor learning and skill transfer.

This research develops realistic surgical simulation models using 3D printing to improve training for complex procedures. By enabling repeated practice in a safe environment, the models enhance skill, confidence, and performance. The work aims to make advanced surgical training more accessible while reducing errors and improving patient outcomes.

Hospitals face growing workloads and staff burnout. This study tested simulation-based team training in hospital departments and found improved workplace culture and a 1% reduction in sick leave. Though small in percentage, this translated into nearly 10,000 working hours saved in one year, highlighting training as a powerful tool to support health care staff.
