TL;DR
CBT is as effective as, and possibly more efficient, than traditional methods of basic surgical skills training for medical students.

152 Citations1998David A. Rogers, Glenn Regehr +2 more
CAL and LFS were equally effective in conveying the cognitive information associated with this skill and comments by the students suggest that the lack of feedback in this model of CAL was the significant difference between these two educational methods.

134 Citations1987Robert W. Barnes
In view of the increasing complexity of operations and equipment, the constraints on animal laboratories and teaching caseloads, and the mounting economic and medico-legal pressures, the development of optimal surgical skills should be a major objective of every surgical training program.
