Surgical #simulation in #MIS has evolvedâwet labs, dry labs, #VRâall with unique strengths. But still-lack of structure & standardization in curricula.
We need high-quality translational research that integrates proven trainings into cohesive, evidence-based structures.

Nontechnical skills are crucially important and CAN be learned.
Whatâs one nontechnical skill thatâs made the biggest impact in your practice? 4/4

This is a skill we hone in all areas of surgery and acute care. Recognizing subtle changes, staying ahead of the situation, and adjusting as a teamâthese can make a huge positive impact on #patientsafety. 3/4

Resuscitation is high-stakes, high-pressure, and often unpredictable. The ability to step back, scan, and process whatâs happening in real time is just as critical as knowing the algorithm. 2/4

How long does this process take? As long as it takes, my friends.
If you're in the free fall, keep going. All the way through the heavy, into the light on the other side. 6/6

Thru this, and on the other side is a new kind of knowing:
â
We can hold Both/And truths.
â
Mixed feelings can coexist.
â
The Serenity Prayer still applies.
And soâwe throw ourselves back into what CAN be changed. 5/6

But we do find footing again. We climb to the next rung. And with time, that cycle builds faith, builds muscleâso that next time our illusions crack, we recognize the process.
Still, the first time? A total free fall. đŹ 3/6

Then comes the unmooring. That floating-in-liminal-space moment where certainty is gone, but clarity hasn't arrived.
We question everything. And the ground feels like it may never return. 2/6
