In this episode, Dr. Max Maizels discusses the difference between holistic training and historical medical training and explains how to leverage online training, simulation models, and proctored clinical cases for more robust procedural training programs.

Dr. Maizels has been on staff at Chicago Children’s Hospital since 1980. Over the years of clinical pediatric urology practice, he has incorporated creation of e-learning platforms to promote effectiveness in the operating room. Since 2010 he has researched to promote best practices for newborn circumcision. He is especially adept at performing such procedures when referred because of Pediatric Urological concerns.
