I don’t know what you consider the metaverse to be, but if it includes simulations it currently helps surgeons prepare

I think metaverse as used in the public imagination has a connotation of combining (i) high immersion, (ii) persistent worlds with long lasting duration, (iii) scale. Surgeon training has (i) but not really the other two?

When I discovered it existed, the CEO of the company building these simulations for surgeons (PrediSurge I think, among others) was also talking about evolving towards the idea of "digital twin", which in my understanding tries to replicate parts of the body of the actual patient, with post-operation persistence for monitoring, which sounds like (ii). As for scale, if it does help surgeons I hope it can be generalized.
