“…Effective collaboration can create high levels of interdependence and ingenuity among group learners, and it allows enhanced learning not easily attained using other methods. 87 Companion et al 86 suggest that integrating simulation-based learning into the educational experience is crucial to further develop collaborative learning environments. Incorporation of networked VR-based simulations into the surgical curriculum would leverage the collaborative strength of the present team-based structure of most surgical residency and clerkship programs.…”

apid change is under way on several fronts in medicine and surgery. Advances in computing power have enabled continued growth in virtual reality, visualization, and simulation technologies. The ideal learning opportunities afforded by simulated and virtual environments have prompted their exploration as learning modalities for surgical education and training. Ongoing improvements in this technology suggest an important future role for virtual reality and simulation in surgical education and training.

“…Recent evidence suggests that doing so fails to prepare the learner for high achievement in the modern workplace, which is characterized by the need to successfully use technology to collect, analyze, and act upon information. 25 To counter this, group or collaborative learning is increasingly used as a networked learning environment to enable students to work together on learning tasks. Effective collaboration can create high levels of interdependence and ingenuity among group learners, and it allows enhanced learning not easily attained using other methods.…”

The teaching and learning of surgery is a time-honored tradition based upon the "see one, do one, teach one" apprenticeship model. Recent improvement of this model has centered upon incremental change in skills teaching and testing and curricular development. Economic pressures have strained the resources of academic health centers and faculty responsible for teaching surgery, even as information technology has opened new avenues for obtaining and benefitting from relevant information. Combining the tools of simulation theory, virtual reality, and the principles of adult education offers new opportunities to optimize surgical education as we enter a more highly connected and interdependent era, where the boundaries between teacher and student blur as the modern surgeon truly becomes a lifelong learner.
