Simulations in veterinary education	2014	4	.pdf	application/pdf	2095	108	41	These included computer simulations, plastic models, soft tissue models, and cadavers.18-21 A recent study evaluated use of video games as a method of enhancing student surgical skills; skills in laparoscopy were enhanced by video game training but traditional surgical skills were not.22 Similarly, in a study evaluating use of high-fidelity models versus live animals for training in performance of ovariohysterectomy of dogs, those students trained on live animals showed much greater confidence and skill in the abdominal approach than did those students trained using a simulation.20 It may behoove those members interested in education to more systematically consider what models might already exist or might be created to ensure progressive acquisition of theriogenology skills in veterinary students.	cache/ct-11247.pdf	txt/ct-11247.txt
