Surgical Education.

ABSTRACT

This paper summarizes the proceedings of the joint European Surgical Association ESA/American Surgical Association symposium on Surgical Education that took place in Bordeaux, France, as part of the celebrations for 30 years of ESA scientific meetings. Three presentations on the use of quantitative metrics to understand technical decisions, coaching during training and beyond, and entrustable professional activities were presented by American Surgical Association members and discussed by ESA members in a symposium attended by members of both associations.
