“…This simulator has been developed through a joint effort of medical experts from the Balgrist University Hospital and the ETH Zurich. The aim of this new simulator is the presentation of a realistic virtual training environment, since other virtual reality simulators evaluated for training of knee arthroscopy [3, 4, 9, 11, 13–15, 23, 31, 33] only showed a marginal level of realism [7, 16, 17, 32]. Similar to other simulators, the simulator offers training of diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopy and objective performance feedback.…”

“…Simulation has also been extensively studied in nursing education, with a recent meta-analysis demonstrating effectiveness with a range of learning objectives (Kim et al, 2016). HBSL has accordingly been endorsed by nursing professional bodies (National Council of State Boards of Nursing, 2005) and educators (Anderson, 2007;Haluck et al, 2007;Hammond, 2004;Hanberg, 2008;Henneman & Cunningham, 2005;McLaughlin et al, 2008). A recent analysis of several studies concluded that simulation is an effective training tool to improve the skills of professional registered nurses (Hegland et al, 2017).…”

Health care social workers practice in a fast-paced, demanding work environment, and do not always have the opportunity to reflect meaningfully on their work or to practice new skills. This article describes an innovative program, the Partnership for Excellence in Social Work Practice in Health Care (“the Partnership”), which provides a professional development opportunity for health care social workers and contributes to the larger mission of providing comprehensive and coordinated care to high-risk populations. The Partnership aims to help social workers respond to the current challenges of health care practice through simulation learning as an educational reflective practice technique. Through this program, social workers at all levels of experience have the opportunity to practice real-world scenarios in a safe and structured space, receive feedback, and reflect on their skills. The Partnership utilizes professional actors who portray patients, doctors, and care partners (formal or informal caregivers) in case examples that explore key issues in the field. This enables learners to be exposed to a representative set of patient experiences, expediting the development of their skills, enhancing their competence, and facilitating the habit of ongoing reflection in practice and in the development of one’s professional identity. Implications of the program for clinical social work practice and directions for future study are discussed.

“…However in eliminating an assistant, one effectively eliminates early exposure to laparoscopic procedures for junior doctors and surgeons, further eroding already scarce teaching and learning opportunities. In addition, many robotic assistants have been shown to be more expensive to implement (including cost of retraining surgeons and theatre staff) than the cost of using a junior to assist [2,3]. Furthermore, when considering the financial viability of any such device, one needs to factor in the often considerable operational costs (maintenance, consumables) of any robotic assistant [4], something that was absent from the article.…”
