Why the study?
Simulation-based training in vascular surgery is continuously developing, but guidance is needed to effectively integrate simulation models into vascular surgery curricula and assessments.
Highlights the need for future studies on long-term skill retention and cost-effectiveness of simulation-based training in vascular surgery.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
Current evidence does not support routine integration of simulation into vascular curricula; leaves open long-term skill retention and cost-effectiveness.
Simulation-based training in vascular surgery is a continuously developing field with exciting future prospects, demonstrated by the vast number of models and training courses. To effectively integrate simulation models into current vascular surgery curricula and assessments, there is a need for studies to look at trainee skill retention over a longer period of time. A more detailed discussion on cost-effectiveness is also needed.
