Abstract

Despite the tremendous advantages, the adoption of simulation technology has been at a pace that is slower than might be expected. The are several reasons for a lag in adoption. The largest may be appropriate exposure to the technology. In a study done by Haluck et al several years ago, only 19% of Program Directors in General Surgery had used a simulator in a hands-on fashion. While it is likely that more program directors have seen simulators since then, it is likely that much more exposure to simulation technology and the use of simulation technology is required for widespread adoption.
