Journal ArticleDOI

Camilo Boza,Felipe León,Erwin Buckel,Arnoldo Riquelme,Fernando Crovari,Jorge Martínez,Rajesh Aggarwal,Teodor P. Grantcharov,Nicolás Jarufe,Julián Varas +9 more
TL;DR: This study demonstrated transfer of advanced laparoscopic skills acquired through a simulated training program in novice surgical residents to the OR.
Journal ArticleDOI
Engagement and learning in simulation: recommendations of the Simnovate Engaged Learning Domain Group
Wayne Choi,Ollivier Dyens,Teresa M. Chan,Mariles Schijven,Susanne P. Lajoie,Mary E. Mancini,Parvati Dev,Li Felländer-Tsai,Mathieu Ferland,Pamela M. Kato,James N. Lau,Michael Montonaro,Joelle Pineau,Rajesh Aggarwal +13 more
TL;DR: A novel framework to describe simulation is introduced by deconstructing a simulation activity into 3 core characteristics (scope, modality and environment), which leads to the translation of deliberately taught knowledge, skills and attitudes into clinical competence and subsequent performance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nontechnical skills performance and care processes in the management of the acute trauma patient
TL;DR: Better teamwork and nontechnical performance are associated with significant decreases in disposition time, an important marker of quality in acute trauma care.
Journal ArticleDOI
Training opportunities and the role of virtual reality simulation in acquisition of basic laparoscopic skills.
TL;DR: There is a lack of experience in index laparoscopy cases of junior SpRs, and laparoscopic VR simulation is recognized as a useful mode of practice to acquire technical skills, which should encourage surgical program directors to drive the integration of simulation-based training into the surgical curriculum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identifying and addressing preventable process errors in trauma care
Philip H. Pucher,Philip H. Pucher,Rajesh Aggarwal,Ahmed Twaij,Nicola Batrick,Michael Jenkins,Ara Darzi +6 more
TL;DR: This study reports error incidence in trauma and typifies them according to type and root cause and identifies process errors and errors of omission in particular as the most common recurring events.
