Abstract

Surgical training has evolved in the last two decades from the traditional master apprentice model to a method of deliberate practice through simulation based learning. Simulation based learning is an established form of training in the aviation industry. Efficient and effective transfer of clinical skills through training is the final goal of all training methods. This article aims to critically review and analyse the relationship between simulation fidelity and surgical skills transfer in Orthopaedics to present a pragmatic perspective.

Keywords: Surgical Training; Orthopaedics; Simulation-Based Learning (SBL)
