From the reviews: The book explores theories of learning, strategies for training, and the definition and application of metrics in surgical training. It analyzes competency criteria from medical/surgical education groups around the world and emphasizes the importance of proficiency based progression as the hallmark of an objectively based surgical training program. ... Overall, Fundamentals of Surgical Simulation: Principles and Practices is a valuable reference and a provocative essay on the principles of surgical (and procedural) training. (Dana K. Andersen, Journal of the American Medical Association, Vol. 307 (9), March, 2012)
