Abstract

Much has been discussed about coaching on different fields and medical training has not been left aside. Atul Gawande’s article in The New Yorker back in 2002 was an eye opener for many regarding the fact that surgeons need and should be constantly coached. Now-a-days, more than in the past surgeon’s performance is being scrutinized and attempts to measure surgical skills have been in the cross hairs of public health entities.
