Envisioning the Future of Special Education Personnel Preparation in a Standards-Based Era (2015, background): “The use of simulators and virtual learning has been widely adopted in professions such as the military, astronautics, and medicine (Gallagher et al., 2005).”
Enhancing Our Lives with Immersive Virtual Reality (2016, background): “To give an illustrative example of why VR is necessary for surgery: interventional cardiology has currently no other satisfactory training strategy than learning on patients (Gallagher et al., 2005).”
Design of a Proficiency-Based Skills Training Curriculum for the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (2007, methodology): “The proficiency level for each task was determined through objectively assessed performance of the subjects on each of the 5 FLS tasks using standard methods.(4-11) Both subjects were fellowship-trained advanced laparoscopic surgeons whose practices were composed primarily of minimally invasive surg”
