Principal Investigator:  Peter Wang, BSc, MD, MEPH, FRCSC, FACS
Dr. Wang is a Pediatric Urologist with a Masters of Education. His clinical research interests includes hypospadias, stone disease, hydronephrosis and vesicoureteral reflux, more specifically on the integration of artificial intelligence and innovative technology on risk stratification, prediction models and individualized management. His educational research interest includes resident autonomy, surgical skills acquisition and assessment and the role of virtual reality and augmented reality on surgical education. 
Current Projects:
1. The assessment of a difficult catheter insertion model
2. The use of augmented reality on the teaching and assessment of surgical skills
3. The use of 3D US and machine learning to predict renal volumes
