Introduction Laparoscopic surgery requires a different and sometimes more complex skill set
than does open surgery. Shortened working hours, less training times, and patient safety …

Purpose This article presents a comparison of the effectiveness of traditional clinical
education toward skill acquisition goals versus simulation-based medical education (SBME) …
