Abstract

Surgical educators face many challenges on the path toward ensuring surgical trainee technical-skill acquisition. We present effective intraoperative teaching techniques and discuss the utilization of simulation to improve technical skills outside of the operating room. Adjuncts, including coaching, mental skills, and nontechnical-skill assessments, are also reviewed. Finally, an example of a clinical curriculum that incorporates best practices in teaching technical surgery is presented. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
