My name is Brian Quaranto MD, and I am a physician and general surgery resident from Buffalo, NY.
When I'm not in the OR, I investigate emerging technologies to teach future generations of surgeons how to be safe and effective.
I am especially interested in improving intraoperative video capture, remote surgical skill simulation, and developing computer vision algorithms to assess surgical skill.
