• Traditionally via literature or video
• Health literacy is a barrier
• Dutch studies using 3-D models of patients’ tumors Enhanced comprehension
Increased compliance
• Use similar approach with vascular disease PVD

• Expected to be as “completely” trained as prior generations despite: More information to learn
New techniques
Decreased resident hours
Decreased time in OR
Increased disease and case complexity
Specialization
• Vascular surgery Simulators are expensive
Vary in realism
Lack haptic feedback
