This book provides an overview of the current status of simulation-based training in various surgical disciplines and explains the science of surgical education, from developing a simulation programme to properly assess surgeons-in-training, to transferring the skills acquired through simulation into real-life settings. As such, the book can be used as a guide for understanding the basics of surgical education UR - http://ezproxy.alfaisal.edu/login?url=http://www.cambridge.org/core/product/identifier/9781783081608/type/BOOK ER -
