Description
Summary:Program Description: Does learning on a simulator really help surgeons operate better? Can learning or directed practice on a simulator contribute to faster or better skill acquisition? What are the advantages and disadvantages of virtual, high tech, or home-made simulators? How do I get started? A panel of experts will provide examples from otology, sinus, and airway surgery; and describe their experiences, recommendations, and visions for the future. Dr. Fried: virtual sinus surgery; Dr. Wiet: virtual temporal bone surgery; Dr. Amin: simulation for office-based procedures; Dr. Malekzadeh: make it yourself; Dr. Ishman: how do we assess competency? Dr. Wang: return on investment. Educational Objectives: 1) Describe how simulators can be used to develop or improve surgical skills. 2) Compare the advantages of different types of simulators. 3) Use a competency-based assessment tool.
