“…Esta modalidad se ha implementado desde 1999 y las aplicaciones han sido mejoradas y desarrolladas a lo largo del tiempo. En 2007, la Asociación de Facultades de Medicina Estadounidense (AAMC) publicó recomendaciones y directrices para incorporar tecnologías educativas en las facultades de medicina, explicando que esta metodología brinda un espacio de enseñanza seguro y controlado, que se adapta a las necesidades individuales y evaluaciones estandarizadas (1). El 5 de junio de 2023, Apple presentó un dispositivo revolucionario llamado Apple Vision Pro (AVP).…”

Background and aimsIn low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), a shortage of skilled surgical practitioners hampers healthcare delivery, impacting well‐being and economic growth. Surgical mentorship programs offer a promising solution but face challenges in implementation. This review aims to comprehensively assess the impact of surgical mentorship programs in LMICs and identify challenges and opportunities for their development and implementation.MethodsA thorough literature search was conducted from 2000 to 2023 using multiple databases, focusing on surgical mentorship programs in LMICs. Inclusion criteria encompassed full‐text articles in English that demonstrated characteristics of mentorship. Rigorous exclusion criteria were applied to ensure high‐quality evidence inclusion.ResultsSurgical mentorship programs in LMICs strengthen local surgical capacity, improve surgical skills and patient outcomes, optimize resources and technology utilization, and positively impact medical students aspiring to be surgeons. However, challenges such as resistance to change, resource limitations, financial constraints, logistical and technological challenges, and time constraints hinder their implementation.ConclusionDespite challenges, surgical mentorship programs hold promise for enhancing surgical capacity and healthcare quality in LMICs. Standardized metrics for accountability, innovative funding mechanisms, collaborative partnerships for scalability, interdisciplinary integration, and leveraging virtual mentorship programs are key strategies to overcome challenges and foster sustainable learning cultures, ultimately contributing to improved healthcare equity and quality in low‐resource settings.

Summary Background The rapidly expanding field of robot-assisted surgery necessitates a parallel evolution in surgical education. A surgeon introduced to the telemanipulator control system can count on technological support that increases precision and supports decisions made during surgery. Generally, the surgeon (operator) is an integral part of the robot, so the synergy of this cooperation may bring the expected progress in access to high-quality services for many patients. Methods This review explores the current state of robotic surgery education, analyzing its limitations and established applications. Additionally, it delves into promising future directions, including the potential of artificial intelligence and advancements in training methods. Results This review identifies key challenges and highlights innovative strategies such as virtual reality simulation and cadaveric training. Furthermore, it emphasizes the importance of developing standardized national curricula to ensure consistent training quality. Conclusion This review emphasizes the need for a robust educational framework to equip surgeons with the necessary skills for safe and effective robotic surgery integration. The use of high-tech tools also requires the use of innovative educational methods. By embracing innovative technologies and prioritizing a standardized curriculum, we can ensure that the future of surgical training empowers surgeons and ultimately improves patient outcomes.
