Journal ArticleDOI

Framework for Systematic Training and Assessment of Technical Skills

TL;DR: Although there is a transfer of skills to the trainee, urrent training programs have not been designed from background of scientific research to ensure the curriclum is valid, efficient, and competency based.
Journal ArticleDOI

Deliberate Practice on a Virtual Reality Laparoscopic Simulator Enhances the Quality of Surgical Technical Skills

TL;DR: VR training improved dexterity for both groups, and led to transfer of skill onto a porcine LC model, and achieved higher quality, and demonstrated superior transfer onto real tissues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Crowd-Sourced Assessment of Technical Skills: a novel method to evaluate surgical performance

TL;DR: For a robotic suturing performance, it is shown that surgery-naive crowdworkers can rapidly assess skill equivalent to experienced faculty surgeons using Crowd-Sourced Assessment of Technical Skill.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stress impairs psychomotor performance in novice laparoscopic surgeons

TL;DR: This is the first study to demonstrate through direct correlation that stress impairs surgical performance on a simulator and training in managing stress may be required to minimize these deleterious consequences and improve patient care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self vs expert assessment of technical and non-technical skills in high fidelity simulation.

TL;DR: Surgeons can accurately self-assess their technical skills in virtual reality LC and formal assessment with faculty members' input is required for nontechnical skills, for which surgeons lack insight into their behaviours.
