Overview

The surgeon as educator faces the challenges of adequately preparing the next generation of surgeons while maintaining a busy practice and keeping up with the latest developments and innovations of the field through familiarity with best evidence in literature. This book helps with keeping up with the latest best evidence in education research and theory. As surgical care has a universal component related to the responsibility entrusted to the surgeon and the healing through combination of mind and hand, so too surgical education involves disseminating knowledge as well as skill. This book aims to address knowledge of surgical education. In this chapter, we share drivers for the book and personal perspectives that inform its shape. We also acknowledge the many influences on our own thinking and practices.
