ABSTRACT
Simulation-based training has been shown to increase confidence and improve technical proficiency in surgical trainees. In this review, we describe the methods of simulation-based training currently being utilized in cutaneous surgery education. PubMed and EMBASE were searched for terms related to dermatologic surgery, education, and simulation. Articles published in English from 2013 onward that discussed simulation-based cutaneous surgery training of dermatology, plastic surgery, or otolaryngology resident physicians were included and summarized. Currently utilized simulation modalities in the training of dermatologic surgeons include skin substitutes, cadavers, and technology-based platforms. While each of these modalities have been shown to enhance trainee confidence and/or skill, head-to-head studies comparing their efficacy and usefulness are limited. Dermatologic surgery training, and therefore patient care, may be enhanced by further incorporation of simulation training. However, further studies are needed to clarify the optimal simulation platforms and delivery.
