Teaching surgical techniques and procedures using advanced educational tools and concepts.

摘要

New educational concepts and tools are being developed to remodel surgical education. This is, in part, being driven by changes in the public's expectations of our profession along with new students seeking a different model of education. The explosion of new surgical procedures and technologies has amplified the importance of remodelling how we teach and train. At the heart of any educational experience should be a curriculum that is flexible enough to change with the content and educational tools available, but robust enough to deliver to the trainee the skills and foundation they need to safely and efficiently move through the complex medical education system that is evolving worldwide today. Here, we describe such a curriculum with great future promise to meet these expectations.
