Surgeons perform better with eye movement training

Surgeons can learn their skills more quickly if they are taught how to control their eye movements. Research led by the University of Exeter shows that trainee surgeons learn technical surgical skills much more quickly and deal better with the stress of the operating theatre if they are taught to mimic the eye movements of experts. This research, published in the journal Surgical Endoscopy, could transform the way in which surgeons are trained to be ready for the operating theatre. PDF Eurekalert!
