Extract
Despite most training programs moving towards competency-based training programs 1 , the Halstedian principle of “See one, do one, and teach one,” still often applies to Surgery. The learning curve in Plastic Surgery can be challenging, including a melange of advanced skills and complex decision making, on a background of substantial diversity and numerous low volume procedures 2 . To mitigate this, early incorporation of simulation-based learning (SBL) has become an increasingly popular concept, and currently is the backbone for many of the training programmes. However, exposure to plastic surgery at medical school is still limited 3 , putting off several students from considering plastic surgery as a potential future career.
