Full Description
In this issue of Hand Clinics, guest editors Drs. Youssra Marjoua and Kevin C. Chung bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Surgical Education. In a changing healthcare environment and with access to new virtual and simulation tools of education, our approach to surgical training warrants consideration of novel teaching methods as well as review of the principles. To design the future of surgical education we also must study our history. In this issue, top experts equip the reader with an understanding of the foundations of surgical training, and the innovative training approaches that may alter our teaching methods.
evolution of surgery and surgical education in the past 100 years; the role of simulation-based medical education in surgical training; the use of virtual reality/mixed reality to improve surgical training and shorten the learning curve; the role of cadaver-based labs vs 3D virtual training in surgical teaching; the impact of duty hour restrictions on orthopaedic surgical training; and more
