Reviews
“The book ‘aims to present the reader with the best available evidence and methods for effective training and assessment in surgery.to provide readers with information easy to adopt and replicate and/or tailor for their respective environment.’ The book succeeds admirably in this important and worthy purpose. … This is a unique resource that will fill a growing need. It will be welcomed by surgical educators and those who work in simulation centers.” (Carol Scott‐Conner, Doody's Book Reviews, June 14, 2019)
