Simulation has emerged as a feasible adjunct to surgical education and training for most
specialties. It provides trainees with an immersive, realistic way to learn a variety of skills in a …

OBJECTIVES The increase in the complexity of operations, the rising quest for improved
outcomes and the scrutiny of surgical practice and its associated complications have led to a …

OBJECTIVES With reductions in training time and intraoperative exposure, there is a need
for objective assessments to measure trainee progression. This systematic review focuses …

Increased consideration for MV repair in the setting of RHD may be warranted, particularly in
low-and middle-income countries. We suggest some avenues for increased exposure and …
