Mayo Clinic has a firm belief that the needs of the patient come first and a foundational culture that unites every health care provider, scientist, student, and trainee in a singular mission to provide hope and healing to the world. Through our education activities, we aim to develop the
workforce of the future and lifelong learners who are trained on new models of care delivery, and ready to keep pace with changes in technology over their careers.
As we move forward in a bold new direction, Mayo Clinic aims to bridge excellence in education and clinical practice across our enterprise by investing in immersive technologies to deliver one- of-a-kind educational and training experiences.
It's important to recognize that Mayo Clinic has 3 campuses in 3 states (AZ, FL, and MN) with 65,000+ staff and a College of Medicine & Science that includes 5 distinct schools (School of Graduate Medical Education, Alix School of Medicine, School of Health Sciences, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, and School of Continuous Professional Development) with 4500+ active learners in 410+ subspeciality programs.
In this talk we will discuss Mayo Clinic’s current journey to strategically deploy Extended Reality (XR)-enabled education across our vast and diverse learner populations (i.e., surgical/medical trainees, staff, medical students, nurses, technicians, therapists, and patients). Additionally, we will provide insights into our preliminary work to utilize XR intraoperative navigation of patient-specific 3D data in the operating room using an expert-novice proctoring approach. Lastly, we will overview our new, bold-thinking strategy for establishing proper governance and collaborate leadership in an agile organization that is always learning and evolving — and moving fast — to expand knowledge and create new capabilities that will help transform health care delivery on behalf of patients.

Science fiction writers, filmmakers and futurists have warned for years about the potential for a dystopian future where technology has created a dark, uninviting, hostile world. John Hanke, the Founder and CEO of Niantic, is here to tell you it doesn’t need to go that way. If the metaverse contemplates leading our lives inside of a computer network, the Real-World Metaverse will use technology to improve our experience of the real world, enriching it with fun and magic, and helping people lead richer, more fulfilling lives. But before you can enhance reality, you need to understand reality, and Hanke will outline Niantic’s vision of empowering developers and creators around the world with the Niantic Lightship platform. Learning lessons from technology transformations of the past, it’s incumbent on all of us to be more inclusive of different communities and more intentional about anticipating the downsides - as well as the upsides - of technology that will shape society and our lives over the coming decades.
