We’ve added a new feature to SurgeOn that gives users more control over how content is organized and revisited.
Create your own playlists
Users can now create their own playlists directly on the platform. These playlists are user generated and built from content that already exists on SurgeOn, including videos and webinars. The goal is simple. Let users group content in a way that matches how they actually learn, prepare, and think through clinical topics.
Public, private, and shareable
Each playlist can be set as public or private. Public playlists are visible to others and can be used to share a learning path, a topic focus, or a way of approaching a problem. Private playlists are only visible to you and are useful for personal study, case preparation, or keeping track of content you want to return to later.
Playlists can also be shared. Instead of sending individual links one at a time, you can share a single playlist with a colleague, a trainee, or a group. This keeps context intact and makes it easier for others to follow how the content fits together.
Why this matters
Surgeons don’t learn in straight lines. Learning happens around cases, complications, new techniques, and questions that come up in real time. Most platforms organize content by topic labels or automated recommendations, which often miss that context.
User generated playlists change that. They let surgeons organize content the same way they think clinically. What to review before a case. What to revisit after one. What to share when a question comes up on rounds.
For educators, this is especially useful. A playlist can be shared with trainees to reinforce a concept, prepare for an upcoming case, or supplement formal teaching. Instead of sending multiple links or searching in real time, you can point learners to a curated set of content that reflects how you approach the topic.
Over time, playlists create a layer of knowledge that reflects experience, judgment, and perspective. Not just what content exists, but how it is used and taught. This makes learning more practical, more relevant, and easier to pass on.
This moves SurgeOn closer to being a living library shaped by its users, not a static collection of content.
