Coaching Orthopaedic Surgeons: Can Visiting Professors be a Valuable Surgical Coach?
Journal Title: Orthopedics Research and Traumatology – Open Journal - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract

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.1 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.
