Abstract
Training future surgeons of any variety presents challenges to the supervising faculty as they must permit adequate supervision while allowing ample practice time for the trainee to confidently execute the physical task. A careful balance of permitting education of the novice must exist while keeping patient safety at highest regard. Ophthalmic surgery is especially challenging as the small operative field and maneuvering under the microscope is particularly complex for a novice surgeon. The use of training outside the operative suite is beneficial in keeping patients safe as ophthalmic residents proceed through training. This chapter will serve to discuss wet laboratory simulation, virtual simulation, and cognitive simulation as it regards to ophthalmic surgical training purposes.
