Applying Educational Theory to Simulation-Based Training and Assessment in Surgery

Sheila W Chauvin. Surg Clin North Am. 2015 Aug.

Abstract

Considerable progress has been made regarding the range of simulator technologies and simulation formats. Similarly, results from research in human learning and behavior have facilitated the development of best practices in simulation-based training (SBT) and surgical education. Today, SBT is a common curriculum component in surgical education that can significantly complement clinical learning, performance, and patient care experiences. Beginning with important considerations for selecting appropriate forms of simulation, several relevant educational theories of learning are described.

Keywords: Assessment; Educational learning theory; Instructional design; Simulation-based training.
