Drawing on more than two decades at the meeting point of engineering, medical devices and clinical training, Göran and Tony confront an uncomfortable structural problem: training is still treated as a cost item rather than a driver of value, and no one can say clearly who owns the responsibility for proving that a clinician is ready to perform a procedure. They make the case that simulation without validated metrics is a suboptimal tool, that proficiency-based progression (PBP) is the route to structured skill, and that the next move belongs to whoever is willing to lead, whether that is a major device manufacturer, a regulator or a professional society.\n\nKey Topics Covered\n1. From High-Tech to High-Stakes — 0:00\nGöran's route into medical simulation from automotive and industrial B2B technology\nWhy selling advanced technology is broadly similar across sectors, and what was genuinely new about medicine\nMentice and the early years of VR simulation in medicine\n2. Training as a Cost, Not a Value — 2:13\nWhy structured training is rarely connected to return on investment\nHow it has often depended on the goodwill and personal time of passionate clinicians\nThe wider concern about a business ethos moving into academic medical centres, and where training and quality assurance fit\n3. Why Simulation Needs Metrics — 6:40\nGöran's agreement with Tony's central conclusion: any simulation without metrics is a suboptimal tool for procedure-based training\nThe...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/JPxx16guuIWtjNqUkS-VeCJVeP1R-gkQQ7xD4SsyqqM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9lZGMy/MjkyM2UxYTkzZmM5/ZjVkMmI4MzAzOTM0/YTIzYi5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
