Review
From the reviews:
“The book explores theories of learning, strategies for training, and the definition and application of metrics in surgical training. It analyzes competency criteria from medical/surgical education groups around the world and emphasizes the importance of proficiency based progression as the hallmark of an objectively based surgical training program. ... Overall, Fundamentals of Surgical Simulation: Principles and Practices is a valuable reference and a provocative essay on the principles of surgical (and procedural) training.” (Dana K. Andersen, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 307 (9), March, 2012)"About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.
