Surgical Training in Pakistan: Challenges & Directions

Abstract

With arrival of the age of technology, surgical training in Pakistan should not fall behind, it must co-opt numerous technological measures into its century’s old techniques. In a field that allows no room for mistakes, e-learning, simulation training, and virtual reality are gifts from beyond for students to make mistakes to learn from. These technological ventures have proven to be beneficial in postgraduate training and we must try our best to allocate funds to make it possible for the students of Pakistan as well.
