“…This supports the notion that other factors in addition to objective skills contribute significantly to the perception of clinical competence. In another study, the authors have observed that when objective performance is below a threshold standard which certifies competence yet above a threshold standard which certifies noncompetence, factors other than objective performance determine the final competent or noncompetent judgment [8]. Thus, competence is a rich concept, and perceptions of "competent" or "not competent" must be understood in light of the various components which may be contributing to these judgments.…”

“…It is difficult to assess objectively the technical skills of surgical residents based on intermittent interaction and observation of their performance on a wide variety of surgical procedures in the operating room. Indeed, the most widespread method of assessment, namely faculty end-rotation evaluations, has been suspect, because of a lack of correlation with other measures of skill and knowledge [20,34].…”

Simulation tools offer the opportunity for the acquisition of surgical skill in the preclinical setting. Potential educational, safety, cost, and outcome benefits have brought increasing attention to this area in recent years. Utility in ongoing assessment and documentation of surgical skill, and in documenting proficiency and competency by standardized metrics, is another potential application of this technology. Significant work is yet to be done in validating simulation tools in the teaching of endoscopic, laparoscopic, and other surgical skills. Early data suggest face and construct validity, and the potential for clinical benefit, from simulation-based preclinical skills development. The purpose of this review is to highlight the status of simulation in surgical education, including available simulator options, and to briefly discuss the future impact of these modalities on surgical training.

“…Present forms of valid assessment concentrate solely upon examination of knowledge, while assessment of technical proficiency is entirely based on unreliable direct observation of live operating [2] with trainees being labelled with adages such as 'a safe pair of hands'. Although, methods of objectively assessing technical skills have been developed, they largely remain as research tools and have yet to be applied to current surgical practice.…”
