Education and the pediatric surgeon

There have been many changes in the domain of clinical surgery over the last 2 decades, but probably none more so than in education. The British Association of Pediatric Surgeons recognizes the importance of this topic and has commissioned a special session on this subject jointly with the International Pediatric Endosurgery Group. Free papers presented on a number of educational subjects and specific topics of recruitment and simulation were covered in invited lectures. The session was completed with a keynote lecture from the renowned educationalist Professor Roger Kneebone.
