Abstract
Pre-assess and pre-teach. Use the right tool for the right job. In general, move from basic to advanced models and then to the cadaver. Basic arthroscopy skills can be taught with simple and inexpensive models. They can also be taught and tested with virtual reality simulation (except knot tying, which is still too difficult to mimic in VR). The use of VR tools will increase in the future.
Recently, AANA has sponsored the “Copernicus Initiative.” This is focused on proficiency based progression training on both models and cadavers using validated metrics rather than using a checklist of technical and critical errors. This will become more and more important in the future as demonstration of actual proficiency in a surgical procedure will be required.
