With over 26 years of experience in bariatric surgery, the surgeons of Pacific Laparoscopy (Pac-Lap) are no strangers to business development. With Info-Surge, their mission to expand awareness of surgical treatment options, to support patients who have undergone surgery, and to promote further refinement of laparoscopic surgical techniques has become much easier.
The flexibility and sophistication of Info-Surge’s web-based e-learning management system appealed to Pac-Lap immediately. Their plans are to create a library of courses for both patients’ and health professionals’ viewing. This e-learning library will supplement Pac-Lap’s in-person seminars to prospective patients, post-operative nutrition classes, lectures and workshops to other bariatric surgery professionals at the Duodenal Switch Institute.
Research has shown that bariatric patients are some of the most web-savvy individuals. It is also known that multimedia presentations produce high levels of learning retention. Dr. Robert Rabkin, director of the surgical program, has been looking for a method to provide education to their patients in a convenient and effectively manner. Info-Surge’s advanced but easy to use web based programs will deliver this information to them through engaging and friendly presentations and downloadable materials. Because Info-Surge’s programs can be accessed online, Pac-Lap can reach patients anywhere and anytime.
