“…For some programs, this may represent a barrier to implementation of the ACS/ APDS curriculum because faculty time, availability, and incentive for teaching are not always uniform. Mittal et al 15 report on successful implementation of the ACS/APDS curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania. They state that curriculum can be implemented in its totality as a 4-week consecutive surgical simulation rotation in an inanimate setting.…”

“…A number of articles recently have been published on topics such as the use and potential use, as well as the importance of simulation in plastic surgery [10], [11]; the integration of surgical simulation in plastic surgery residency training [12]; and skills transferred to the operating room by surgical simulation [13]. In response two seemingly contradictory goals in education have been put forward as priorities.…”

“…On the one hand, there is a push for further standardisation of education. To this end, the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and the American Board of Medical Specialities (ABMS) have defined six core competencies required of all residents [10]. The standardization of aims will increase patient safety by reducing surgical errors and improving the quality of care, while at the same time maximizing hospital resources.…”

Changes in health care triggered major shifts in health sciences education, including a move to simulation in education and training. Simulation enhances student learning, provides controlled and safe practice opportunities, and shapes the acquisition of doctors' clinical skills/professional competence. Myriad research opportunities exist in the field of simulation-based medical education (SBME). The overall goal of this research was to reflect on the purpose and value of research on simulation and was aimed at improving plastic surgery education and training (teaching, learning and professional competence). The methodology is based on the conceptualisation and contextualisation of SBME. This article offers recommendations on the role and value of simulation in education; the enhancement of learning; integrating simulationbased education into training curricula; standardising plastic surgery training globally; the revalidation of competency in continuing medical education, and the engagement of teachers and students in educational research. Simulation has potential to play an integral role in developing better and safer health care services for patients worldwide.

“…Yet, research efforts on this topic remain uncoordinated. 4 As such, systematic review and meta-analysis studies will prove crucial to provide the overarching links between currently published studies on simulation training for invasive procedures. 5 Although several important meta-analyses have been performed on this topic, 6Y8 procedural success on real patients has not been extensively assessed.…”
