| pubmed-article:21975708 | pubmed:abstractText | Methods for surgical education and training have changed little over the years. Recent calls to improve surgical efficiency and safety impose additional pressures that have an impact on surgical education and training. USE OF SIMULATION: Integration of data from advanced imaging technologies and computer technologies are creating simulation environments of unprecedented realism. Surgical education and training are poised to exploit low-cost simulation technologies to mitigate these pressures that are having an adverse impact on curricula. To become effective, simulation needs to undergo rigorous validation studies. | lld:pubmed |
