Simulation-based surgical education

[Pursuing quality in simulation-based surgical education].

There is no doubt that the great triumphs of Formula One Grand Prix drivers such as Fernando Alonso are due to the efforts of a perfectly synchronised team accomplishing every multiple and complex task necessary to achieve high performance. Their results are the fruit of structured, organised and effective training outside the competitive environment. Care is becoming increasingly complex in ou...

Simulation- Based Education

Background: Quality improvement in higher education is one of the approaches which is taken into consideration in many higher education systems in recent decades. On the other hand, to respond to the rapid changes in the medical field, medical education should be changed and new training methods should be used. One of these methods is simulation-based training. Methods: This is a review a...

Team play in surgical education: a simulation-based study.

BACKGROUND Simulation-based training provides a low-stress learning environment where real-life emergencies can be practiced. Simulation can improve surgical education and patient care in crisis situations through a team approach emphasizing interpersonal and communication skills. OBJECTIVE This study assessed the effects of simulation-based training in the context of trauma resuscitation in ...

Simulation and Virtual Reality in Surgical Education

R apid change is under way on several fronts in medicine and surgery. Advances in computing power have enabled continued growth in virtual reality, visualization, and simulation technologies. The ideal learning opportunities afforded by simulated and virtual environments have prompted their exploration as learning modalities for surgical education and training. Ongoing improvements in this tech...
