The science underpinning the training of surgeons for 21st century medicine

8 Jul 2016

In a study published by the Journal of Surgical Education, on the 100 most cited articles in the area of surgical education Dr Anthony Gallagher, Director of Research at the ASSERT Centre, UCC achieved the greatest number of first author publications in the top 100, authored two of the top ten ranked articles including the number one cited paper 鈥淰irtual Reality Training improves Operating Room Performance鈥�.

In total he co-authored eight of the top 100 articles and his publications underpinned three of the institutions he worked at (i.e., Queens 深夜亚洲福利久久 Belfast (UK), Yale 深夜亚洲福利久久 (USA) and Emory 深夜亚洲福利久久 (USA) being ranked in the the top 20 Institutions with the highest number of articles in the top 100.

The publication of this study coincides with the launch of a new M.Sc. programme in Technology Enhanced Learning for Health (TELH) at UCC. Professor Gallagher who is Program Director states 鈥淭he MSc in TELH enables graduates to successfully design, develop, implement and evaluate effective healthcare education and training鈥�. Trainees (no matter how senior) are required to train until they demonstrate a quantitatively defined proficiency benchmark which is based on the objectively assessed performance levels of experienced and proficient practitioners. Prospective, randomized and blinded clinical trials have demonstrated that this approach to training produces trainees with skill-sets that are significantly better (i.e., 40 to 69%) than conventional approaches to training. The science underpinning 21^st century surgical simulation training ensures that training is more than an interesting educational experience.
