Resident physicians are learning to make their mark with the help of innovative technology that transforms traditional training into a more user-friendly experience, and a recent study is paving the way for this new approach to education in the field of cancer treatment. The research was recognized at both CHI 2024 and ACM DIS 2024, with one paper receiving an honorable mention award—an achievement reserved for the top 5% of submissions. The study was led by Ph.D. student Matin Yarmand and Professor Nadir Weibel from UC San Diego’s Design Lab and Department of Computer Science in the Jacobs School of Engineering, in collaboration with UC San Diego School of Medicine.
