BACKGROUND: In recent years there has been a shift from traditional Halstedian methods toward more simulation-based medical education (SBME) for developing surgical skills. Questions remain about the role and value of SBME, although feedback and enga... Read More about Deliberate Practice in Simulation-Based Surgical Skills Training: A Scoping Review.

Context Changes to surgical training programmes in the UK has led to a reduction in theatre time for trainees, and an increasing reliance on simulation to provide procedural experience. Whilst simulation offers opportunity for repetitive practice, t...
