Optimising the educational utility of live tissue training in trauma surgery
These themes along with simulation theory have been used to create a series of recommendations about how LTT could be optimised to ensure educational quality. Key recommendations include clarifying which learners should attend, restructuring courses to include a brief and debrief, teaching technical and non-technical skills in tandem, and focusing learning on the animal as a patient, in order to promote a realistic experience.
