Surgical proficiency requires command of both technical and cognitive skills. Although at times overlooked, cognitive skills training allows residents to practise detecting errors ultimately leading to a reduction of errors. Virtual simulations and serious games offer a viable alternative to practice in an actual operating room where traditionally both technical and cognitive skills acquisition takes places. They provide residents the opportunity to train until they reach a specific competency level in a safe, cost effective, fun, and engaging manner allowing them to make more effective use of their limited training time in the operating room.

Abstract: | Surgical proficiency requires command of both technical and cognitive skills. Although at times overlooked, cognitive skills training allows residents to practise detecting errors ultimately leading to a reduction of errors. Virtual simulations and serious games offer a viable alternative to practice in an actual operating room where traditionally both technical and cognitive skills acquisition takes places. They provide residents the opportunity to train until they reach a specific competency level in a safe, cost effective, fun, and engaging manner allowing them to make more effective use of their limited training time in the operating room. |
