The School of Modern Technology works to deliver gold standard educational resources and project proposals in Modern Technology to ICS members and European professionals through e-Learning and work placements at international center of excellence. The School will increase the adaption of modern technology to functional urologic surgeries. World Health Organization identified “Health Technology” as the application of organized knowledge and skills in the form of devices, medicines, vaccines, procedures and systems developed to solve a health problem and improve quality of lives. However, we know that education has been commonly based on the Halstedian methodology of “see one, do one, teach one”. This methodology depends on volume as well as access to patients to work. The field of surgery covers a wide range of procedures, and teaching/learning with the Halstedian model is a challenge. Contemporary surgeons are keen on to learn various surgical techniques including open, endoscopic and laparoscopic/robotic surgeries. It is obvious that non-invasive techniques are more frequently preferred by surgeons and patients. Traditional medical training curriculum, residency program ,residency work hour restrictions and the public focus on improved patient safety result in the learning needs of trainees looking forward to the legal and ethical imperatives of patient safety . These learning and educational limitations provide a framework for the importance and necessity of training using simulation, 3D medical applications (VR and AR), printed medical models . Training for technical skills may increase manual dexterity, but training for situational awareness, decision making, communication, and teamwork is highly important. The development of valid 3D Medical applications and models will eventually play a role in the certification/re-certification of medical students and residents. The development of 3D Medical applications will also provide a novel training modality for continuing medical education (CME). Simulation and 3D medical applications will never be able to replace clinical experience and hands-on training; however, current simulation models may decrease the initial stages of the learning curve without compromising patient safety. The role of 3D medical modeling in surgical field is growing. Functional urology, including pelvic surgeries and surgical anatomy is suitable to having simulation take an important educational role by nature of the competencies required. 3D printing is the development of 3D objects via an additive process in which successive layers of material are applied under computer control. 3D printing has existed more than a decade in the medical era, but, its use was limited mostly to dentistry and orthopedics. This issue triggered our project related to working on solid organs like prostate, bladder, pelvic muscles, uterus, rectum models. However, as printers and software become available, there is a tend to increase in the use of 3D printing in medicine. The applications of 3D technology in the medical arena are unlimited, and improving timely. It is possible for surgeons to produce facsimiles of their patients’ body parts that need to be removed or replaced. With 3D printing, it may soon be possible to make a body part from inert materials in just a few hours. One of the target of this project is to produce novel 3D surgical printed models, simulation applications that are adequate for target group who are medical students, residents in urology /gynecology and specialist as healthcare professionals in pelvic surgery. It is necessary to obtain novel training modalities in medical education because of the limitations of cadaveric learning and limitation of education on living organisms. Traditional surgical training has many draw backs as residency work hour restrictions, patient safety conflicts in the learning needs and lack of hands on workshops. These educational limitations provide a framework for the importance and necessity of training using simulation, 3D medical applications (VR and AR), printed models in medical field. The development of 3D Medical applications will also provide a novel training modality for continuing medical education (CME). Simulation and 3D medical applications will never be able to replace clinical experience and hands-on training; however, current simulation models may decrease the initial stages of the learning curve without compromising patient safety. The targets of this project is to produce novel 3D medical models and innovative applications by using novel worldwide technologies for lifelong medical training, set up the education, technology based school under umbrella of International Continence Society, grow up in Europe and increase awareness of 3D technology in medical education, surgical planning, patient education with interdisciplinary fashion

The target of this project was to produce novel 3D medical models and innovative applications by using novel worldwide technologies for lifelong medical training based on urologic and surgical fields. This project also targeted to improve interdisciplinary and transnational approaches using novel technologies for medical education to accumulate existing experience.Our project was related to working on solid organs like prostate, kidney, and liver models. It was possible for surgeons to produce facsimiles of their patients’ body parts that need to be removed or replaced. With 3D printing, it might soon be possible to make a body part from inert materials in just a few hours with standardization of medical 3D modeling and it would be also possible to better understand of anatomical and pathological conditions. The target groups of this project was directly the medical students and residents who needs medical education and surgical training, indirectly all medical researchers who were supported by clinical and surgical anatomical education and training. It was easy to establishment of new scientific division on medical simulation modeling for surgical sciences and clinical anatomy in EU countriesWe aimed to innovate novel imaging platform for education and training by re-evaluating existing data using new software's and 3D modalities. The complementary side of our project was to motivate other health care professionals adapting to novel medical training modalities in their specialties. Therefore our methodology that started with the creation of 3D training applications and ends with analysis of qualification and quantification of the training curriculum, will adopted to all related medical fields. 5 countries included to the project. All parties were eligible and expert on 3D medical applications, modeling and surgical training models. The expected impact of project objectives and topics on the participants, participant organizations and target groups was- to integrate 3D medical modeling system in medical training curriculum- to make a collaboration among the countries related with medical education training and novel 3D medical modeling - to create teamwork on 3D medical applications and modeling in Europe- to share academic and practical experience with the other countries in Europe- to identify systematic syllabus on medical training using with new technologies- to access easily novel training models like VR and AR simulators- to affect positively research, teaching and patient care with using novel 3D medical applications in daily clinical practice and educational session- to decrease surgical complications learning with 3D medical surgical models and reach the high performance with novel models- to learn surgical anatomy with the best models, correct anatomy plans, correct surgical planning, and increased visualization of solid organ anatomyMain fields were related to urology and general surgery for endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery training purposes. 50 pieces 3D normal/pathologic organ models were printed with high-quality material. Pathologic models were also used for training purposes using endoscopic instruments. Pathologic surgical models were created with process and polish of 3D printed models. Transnational project meetings, web-based on line activities, multiplier event, training/learning/teaching activities were performed during the project for dissemination of outcomes. However, the outcomes ere shared via social media and webpage with the colleagues who were intend to learn more information about the 3D Medical applications, modeling and novel training methods in Europe. Dissemination process started with local competencies of the partner countries. Each country shared the project outcomes with their national database, and getting information from the partner organization about the other project outcomes are crucial. Finally, all outcomes and produced innovations were spread to the European Union Foundations and societies, non-governmental organization for CME after the ending of the project.
