Harnessing Technology for Evidence Based Education and Training in Minimally Invasive Surgery. Addendum
Abstract
Training specific surgical skills on simulators has been proven to bring a better-prepared student to a human operating room, and when the simulator-trained student performs a portion of a procedure fewer errors are made when compared to a learner who has not been trained on a simulator. This current study seeks to further this work by first developing a curriculum for training an entire procedure, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, using simulation technologies and integrating cognitive, psychomotor aspects of full procedure training, and second, to test the effectiveness of curriculum-based training through a multicenter, international research group, the MASTER group.
