Abstract:
In the current era of duty hour limitations and societal focus on cardiothoracic surgical outcomes, simulation and deliberate practice have emerged as valuable supplemental training options. Evidence supporting acquisition of technical skill, clinical transferability, and patient safety within the realm of simulation is mounting. This article provides a focused synthesis of evidence regarding the usefulness of simulation-based training and deliberate practice as a whole and within the subspecialty of cardiothoracic surgery.
