Study	Findings
1. Sroka et al. 2010¹⁹	Training on the fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery (FLS) simulator led to improved operating room performance in lap cholecystectomy compared to controls
2. Butter et al. 2010²⁰	S-B mastery learning improves medical students’ cardiac auscultation skills that transfer to actual patients
3. Wayne et al. 2008²¹	Simulation trained residents responded to real hospital cardiac arrest events with greater compliance to American Heart Association protocols than more experienced team leaders not trained with simulation
4. Ahlberg et al. 2007²²	Resident surgeons trained on a virtual reality (VR) laparoscopic cholecystectomy simulator made fewer errors and were faster during their first 10 cholecystectomies compared to a control group
5. Park et al. 2007²³	“Residents trained on a colonoscopy simulator prior to their first patient-based colonoscopy performed significantly better in the clinical setting than controls, demonstrating skill transfer to live patients.”
6. Banks et al. 2007²⁴	Simulation training in laparoscopic tubal ligation improved resident knowledge and performance in the operating room (OR) compared to controls.
7. Chaer et al. 2006²⁵	Training on a VR endovascular simulator led to improved clinical performance during catheter-based interventions for lower extremity occlusive disease compared to controls
8. Banks et al. 2006²⁶	Training in episiotomy repair in the skills laboratory improved residents’ knowledge and performance in the clinical setting compared to controls
9. Cohen et al. 2006²⁷	GI fellows trained on a VR colonoscopy simulator demonstrated significantly better clinical performance during their first 80 colonoscopies compared to controls
10. Andreatta et al. 2006²⁸	“Prior training on the LapMentor™ laparoscopic simulator leads to improved resident performance of basic skills in the animate operating room environment” compared to controls.
11. Korndorffer et al. 2005²⁹	“ … training to a predetermined expert level on a videotrainer suture model provides trainees with skills that translate into improved operative performance” compared to controls.
12. Ahlberg et al. 2005³⁰	Training on a VR endoscopy simulator improved colonoscopy performance on patients (shorter procedure time, less patient discomfort, more successful at reaching the cecum) compared to controls
13. Grantcharov et al. 2004³¹	Training on a VR simulator improved lap cholecystectomy performance in the OR (fewer errors, less time, better motion efficiency) compared to controls.
14. Seymour et al. 2002³²	“Use of VR surgical simulation to reach specific target criteria significantly improved the OR performance of residents during laparoscopic cholecystecomy” compared to controls.
15. Scott et al. 2000³³	Laparoscopic skill training using simulated tasks on a video-trainer improves the operative performance of junior surgery residents compared to controls.
