How to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Simulation Training in Surgery?

Abstract

Simulation training in surgical procedures is an important part of the training of surgeons. The goal of simulation training is to develop the ability of physicians to perform surgical procedures in real practice. The assessment of simulation training programs is needed to analyze to improve outcomes; requirements for assessment of simulation training include an assessment of the application of surgical procedures in practice, in the general population of students. A method of assessment of surgical procedures has been developed by means of a structured interview of listeners with an assessment of practical results. The method revealed the high efficiency of the laparoscopic intracorporeal suture training program.
