 Hello, my name is Captain Gordon Wisbach. I'm an active duty Navy surgeon that's the director of the Bioskills and Simulation Center as well as the robotic surgery program. Navy Medical Center San Diego celebrates a grand opening of the Virtual Medical Operations Center or VIMOC for short. This telemedicine center serves as a hub for the Indo-Pacific region that allows health care providers to deliver virtual care to remote spokesites. NMCSD's VIMOC currently has 13 teleworkstations that supports 93 beds at remote hospitals in the United States and overseas. The VIMOC is a broadcast center that serves as a template for other future military virtual medical centers around the world. We are developing a surgical telemetering capability that will address multiple challenges such as shortages in military surgeons, geographical barriers, financial burdens, and risky or prohibited long distance travel. We are enthusiastic about this grand opening and exploring the immense potential to improve patient care.
