Fundamental Use of Surgical Energy (FUSE)

Abstract

In Brief Traditional medical education curricula for students, residents, and trainees do not address the rapidly growing number of technological devices that are fundamentally changing health care delivery today, exposing both operators and patients to increasing risk for injury. The gap in adequate education and training prompted the development of the Fundamental Use of Surgical Energy (FUSE) program. The FUSE program and future educational curricula represent a necessary paradigm shift in traditional medical education.
