title: Characteristics of a surgical trainer 2010-2020.
abstract: The type of individual most commonly employed as a surgical trainer is a Clinical Instructor, usually in the junior stages of a faculty position, who has voiced an interest in education and who joins initially with a great deal of enthusiasm. Unfortunately, the lifespan of such an individual as a surgical trainer in a simulation center is relatively limited.
