Simulation in Surgery: Perfecting the Practice



abstract
The apprenticeship model that surgical training has traditionally relied on has proven to be an expensive, time-consuming, and inconsistent model for producing skilled surgeons. Combined with increased public scrutiny on patient safety, financial concerns, restricted work hours, and expanding skill requirements, it has become clear that a new pedagogic paradigm is required. This article reviews the evidence supporting the need and justification of simulation in surgical education and explores the existing and potential roles of simulation in the training and evaluation of future surgeons.
