Why the study?
New surgical methods have driven demand for systematic approaches to leverage computing power and internet tools for proficiency-based training, though patient outcome benefits remain understudied.
Technological innovations such as virtual reality and telementoring are transforming surgical education, though their direct impact on patient outcomes remains to be fully evaluated.
Innovations in surgical education follow advancing clinical technology. New surgical methods have prompted demand for systematic methods to leverage computing power and internet tools to achieve proficiency-based training goals. Virtual reality, high-fidelity patient simulation, web-based resources to facilitate performance assessment, and telementoring have become mainstream practices, although patient outcomes benefits are not well studied. Remote virtual meeting and mentoring have had transformative effects on resident experiences, the full effects of which remain to be seen.
