Chair: Rajesh Aggarwal, M.D.; Co-Chair: Neal Seymour, M.D.
This program examines advances in surgical education and educational solutions to address patient safety issues. A panel of experts will discuss specific innovations that may have a significant near-term impact on the education of surgeons. This discussion will consist of an overview of the potential uses of innovative simulated surgical environments – both training laboratory-based and virtual – in surgical education, as well as the impact of human factors and education directed at these factors on performance in error-sensitive environments.
Objectives:
At the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:
- Recognize the present and future utility of simulated environments for surgical training
- Describe the importance of human factors considerations in facilitating safety in health care and surgery
