Additionally, the size of the school makes it easy to get involved in student organizations and connect with others.

  • Capturing surgical expertise: Zonghe Chua receives NIH Trailblazer grant to develop autonomous coaching system for surgeons

So says the “quiet eye” technique, which calls on a period of extended visual attention to improve coordination and performance. A research-backed approach for moments of high stress that require precise motor skills, the technique has been studied not just in athletics, but in operating rooms—places where a surgeon’s “quiet eye” can aid in robot-assisted, minimally invasive surgery.
