Abstrakt: Purpose of Review: Simulation plays an integral role in gynecological surgical training that will continue and grow in the future. It aims to supplement surgical training as residents are experiencing decreased surgical volumes. It has also been recognized as a means for assessing a trainee's capabilities to the point of being incorporated into the board certification process. This review will highlight the recent updates in research and resources available for gynecologic surgery simulation.
Recent Findings: The literature reviewed demonstrated that, across the board, participants in simulation find it beneficial. A variety of low-fidelity and high-fidelity models, virtual reality programs, and artificial intelligence technology have been developed recently. As the field advances, researchers have started to investigate methods to increased engagement and provide feedback without the need for direct observation, the logical next step considerations to maximize the impact and availability of simulation.
Summary: Gynecologic surgery training programs must stay abreast of the wide variety of simulation training available. Efforts should continue to be made to investigate the impact of simulation patient outcomes. The academic medicine community has a responsibility to ensure high-quality simulation is available to all surgical trainees to avoid disparities between low-resource and high-resource programs.
