Cognitive task analysis-based training in surgery: a meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Reduced hands-on operating experience has challenged the development of complex decision-making skills for modern surgical trainees. Cognitive task analysis- (CTA-)based training is a methodical solution to extract the intricate cognitive processes of experts and impart this information to novices. Its use has been successful in high-risk industries such as the military and aviation, though its application for learning surgery is more recent. This systematic review aims to synthesize the evidence evaluating the efficacy of CTA-based training to enable surgeons to acquire procedural skills and knowledge.
