Surgical Education & Simulation

Surgical Education & Simulation

Modern surgical education is being transformed by simulation technologies, digital platforms, and competency-based training models. This session will highlight innovations in surgical training, from high-fidelity simulators and virtual reality environments to AI-driven skill assessments. Presentations are invited on curriculum development, training in minimally invasive and robotic surgery, and global efforts to standardize surgical education. Discussions will also cover mentorship models, continuing professional development, and strategies for preparing the next generation of surgeons for complex clinical challenges. Case studies of simulation-based training improving patient safety and outcomes will be welcomed. By engaging educators, surgeons, and policymakers, this session will promote dialogue on how to balance traditional surgical apprenticeship with modern technology-driven methods. The focus will be on ensuring that surgical education evolves alongside innovations, providing future surgeons with the skills, confidence, and ethical grounding to perform safely and effectively in increasingly complex healthcare environments.
