[A survey on surgical training during residency in Sweden - description of the current state].

Practical training for new surgeons differs between institutions, and standards are mostly lacking. The largest problems seem to occur during the first years, when novices begin their specialty training, (specialisttjänstgöring in Swedish). A large number of scientific publications are available, but the they are usually limited to one specific procedure or one surgical specialty, and the results are rarely applied in practice.

Seeing through the dentist's eyes: video-based clinical demonstrations in preclinical dental training.

The clinical demonstration is an established way of bridging the disciplinary content in preclinical and clinical courses. In dentistry, however, clinical demonstrations have often been perceived as less rewarding due to the restricted visual access to the details of the treatment. This study investigated a course in endodontics at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, in which traditional clinical demonstrations were replaced by instructor-led seminars that enabled students to follow and discuss broadcasted root canal treatments.
