Most importantly, this study helped support rolling out the 3D printed hearts to more teaching sites. Especially those without access to a pathology museum! Stay tuned for how medical students felt about that.

I've been working on this for some years now with some fantastic collaborators (Twitter people - @ereznusem @HasGunasekera) and it's wonderful to see it finally out there.

They were pretty comparable, but students seemed to prefer the real hearts by the end of the session (see Fig 3 in the paper for more deets). Which contradicts what students say they prefer in other studies ๐

We replicated heart pathology models using 3D printing then recorded medical students as they used them in a prac to see which they preferred. Analysed the videos using machine learning and structured observation ๐ง

SO excited to share that my side project has finally been published! Do students actually prefer to use 3D printed models over cadaveric ones when they are learning about pathology?? Find out here ๐.

Read about some 3D printing we did at the EPIC Lab that helped plan these surgeries! ๐.
Maddy and Briella Luk struggled with a life-threatening condition that twisted their spines "like a spiral staircase" - until a pioneering surgeon and 3D printer saved them. This is their incredible story ๐
