    About

    "The traditional Halstedian apprenticeship model of ‘see one, do one, teach one’ is no longer adequate to train surgeons, since good laparoscopic skills cannot be developed by merely watching an expert." – A. Pearson, 2002

    This book proposes four hypotheses concerning the impact and acceptance of virtual reality, simulation, and computer game technologies in medical education. It focuses on laparoscopic surgery because of the similarities between that form of surgery and virtual reality systems. The evidence indicates that the following four hypotheses are supported by the medical research literature.

    • Hypothesis 1: Surgical training can be accomplished at a lower cost using simulation, virtual reality, and game technology-based tools than through existing methods of training.
    • Hypothesis 2: Simulation and game technology-based training environments provide better access to representative patient symptoms and allow more repetitive practice than existing forms of training.
    • Hypothesis 3: Simulation and game technology-based training environments can reduce the training time required to achieve proficiency in specific procedures.
    • Hypothesis 4: Simulation and game technology-based training can reduce the number of medical errors caused by residents and surgeons learning to perform new procedures.

    The strong evidence collected in this study indicates that game-based systems are becoming much more accepted in medical education and that the technical limitations that existed when these devices were first introduced are being overcome.
