Patient safety errors in OR may originate from: surgeon on account of forgetfulness, inattention, poor motivation, carelessness, negligence and recklessness; Hospital system due to understaffing, inadequate equipment, fatigue, time pressure and inexperience.Quality surgical training is crucial for creation of surgical workforce for health care delivery. The surgical trainees during ‘Junior Residency’ need training in both ‘Surgical’ and ‘Communication’ OR skill. The surgical skill learnt in OR is: competence in ‘basic surgical techniques’; skill of ‘assistance and minor surgeries’: hernia repair, appendectomy, skin grafting and laparoscopic skills.

Surgical trainer promotes trainee’s skill and ensures patient safety as well the highest quality of surgery, through gradual decreasing levels of supervision in OR, namely Direct Supervision where the trainer is physically present;Indirect supervision where the trainer becomes available within few minutes; oversight where after the surgery review is providedwith feedback and progress monitoring where progress is monitored and supervision is done only in complex surgeries.
