Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite submissions for a Special Issue on “Assessment and Performance in Surgical Training” with a focus on promoting evidence-based methods for assessing and enhancing surgical competence. This Issue aims to explore current challenges and innovations in surgical education and training across all stages of practice.
We welcome original research, systematic reviews and educational innovations on a wide range of topics, including assessment of technical and non-technical skills, progression towards autonomy, simulation-based training, assigned professional activities (EPAs), milestones, curriculum development, faculty training, global surgical education, and the integration of technology and artificial intelligence into educational practices.
