Miami Saturday Session 6: Zero Tolerance Surgery V

The theme of building and retaining strong surgeons continues in this session, which pairs two forward-looking perspectives on surgical education and planning. Prof. Niki Rashidian opens with an argument for moving from metrics to meaning, proposing contextual learning as the next frontier in surgical education, one that considers the circumstances behind performance data rather than treating numbers alone as the full picture. Dr. Daniele Amparore follows with a look at the potential role of the human digital twin in precision surgical planning, exploring how personalized digital models could eventually inform both training and actual procedural preparation. Moderated by Dr. Federico Piramide, with contribution from Wouter Bogaert, the discussion connects these ideas to the ongoing challenge of retaining skilled surgeons within demanding training pipelines. Surgical education researchers, residency program leaders, and digital health innovators will find this session valuable for its blend of pedagogical insight and emerging technology. It offers a thoughtful look at how contextual understanding and personalized digital modeling might together shape the next generation of surgical training.
