One of the hardest things about teaching surgery is that there aren't enough well-trained teachers. Surgical educators can make a big difference in how long the surgical education system lasts. One way to promote sustainability is through "training the trainer" courses, which teach teachers how to teach. One other strategy is to use "near-peer" teaching. Student surgical societies can also help by developing surgical skills courses and communicating with international groups and local institutions.

Telementoring is a new method for teaching surgical skills with several benefits. It gets around geographical barriers and saves money. It has also been shown to help students do better in school. Because of this, telementoring is becoming more popular in surgical education.

But there are some challenges to putting telementoring into place. First, countries with few resources often don't have enough money to buy and use new technologies. Even though many studies show that Da Vinci robots and augmented reality trainers can be helpful, it is impossible to use them everywhere. But there are other ways to put telementoring into practice in surgical education.

Video streaming is another way to do telementoring. Video streaming services make it possible for telementors to talk to more people. In one study, Datta et al. said that 7939 unique streams were watched, and teleproctors made 26 comments. Real-time video streaming can also be a valuable tool for learning. Not only does this method reach more people, but it also gives students all over the world more chances to learn.

Residents in surgery and medical students have different ways of learning, and using a teaching video demonstration may give students more confidence. But it's unclear how effective each presentation is because the study only looked at a small number of cases. In the future, researchers may look at how different ways of presenting affect how healthy students do.

Traditional ways of teaching anatomy did not work. In the past, lectures were given using PowerPoint, and specimens cut open were used to show how things worked. But with the rise of digital technologies, students can learn about anatomy in a much more interactive way.

Metacognition is the study of how we think, and its use in surgical education is essential for a good training program. Surgeons should use the principles of metacognition, such as cognitive pre-training, deliberate practice, and building mental models, to get the most out of the training process. With this method, surgeons can learn new skills in a safe place before putting them to use in the operating room.

Using wikis is one way to teach surgeons how to think about their beliefs. These platforms are dynamic and let users change and add content. Wikis are great for learning about surgery because they allow students to see the most up-to-date information on a subject. Using wikis in surgical education, students can learn about the newest and best techniques and get the most out of their pre-training.

Even though surgeons have responsibilities at work, they also have lives outside of work. If a surgeon doesn't have a good balance between work and personal life, it could hurt their health and put patients at risk. NexGen's survey on work-life balance shows that surgeons who have a good balance between work and family also do better at their jobs.

The balance between work and personal life is essential to medical school. Medical specialists, in particular, have a lot of paperwork to do and often spend a lot of time on paperwork. There are systems to help doctors better balance their work and personal lives.

Peer pressure is something that everyone has to deal with. This can cause people to make bad decisions, like using drugs or getting into risky sexual situations. It is essential to understand the good things about peer pressure and keep yourself from being hurt by it. There are many ways to stand up to peer pressure and pick people who are good for you.

In surgical school, the amount and frequency of peer pressure can vary. It may be less noticeable in less formal teaching settings, like the hallway or the operating room, where people are free to discuss their different viewpoints. But it can be worse when there is a lot of peer pressure from people in various professions.
