ABSTRACT
Simulation-based training (SBT) over the last 10 years has become a mainstay for surgical education at the graduate medical education (GME) level. More recently, however, the technique has rapidly become the standard for early efficient teaching of surgical skills and decision making at the undergraduate medical education (UME) level. The described benefits of SBT include its ability to compartmentalize education, to combine immediate assessment and feedback, and to accelerate knowledge and skill acquisition for the young learner. Consequently, SBT is now being adopted in multiple national medical student surgical educational initiatives.
