BOTA Diversity and Education: Discussion Time 1

Description

The VTT document captures a discussion involving several panelists, including Oliver Adebayo, Matthew Brown, Kapil Sugand, and Duncan Tennett, focusing on the topic of simulation in medical training, particularly in orthopedics. Oliver opens the discussion by leading into a questions segment from the audience, with Matthew highlighting concerns regarding the clarity of objectives in simulation training. He poses insightful queries about the potential inefficiencies or safety issues in current practices. Professor Tennett responds by reflecting on past training practices, emphasizing the evolution of training methods towards simulation as a necessary transition to enhance skill acquisition and address previous shortcomings. He discusses the importance of having a structured simulation curriculum tailored to different training stages and warns against the misconception that simulation can replace all training methods. Kapil reinforces this by stating that while patient safety is becoming increasingly significant, simulation is a critical method of learning in a safe environment, advocating for a curriculum that integrates various training modalities without limiting itself to a single approach. The dialogue concludes with appreciation for the contributions of all panelists and encourages ongoing discussion through social media, emphasizing the need for collaboration in addressing future challenges in orthopedic training.
