Abstract |
The desire to be good at one's work grows out of the aspiration, competition, and a yearning to be the best. Surgeons, in their aim to provide the best care possible to their patients, adopt this behavior to achieve high levels of expert performance through mastery learning, and the surgical training attempts to prepare them optimally to lead a virtuous and productive life. The proponents of the framework reject evidence that suggests that other variables are also necessary to achieve high levels of expert performance. Here, we review various models and designs to achieve mastery along with their pros and cons to help us understand how mastery learning is helpful in surgical practice. |
