Surgical education continues to evolve from the master-apprentice model. Newer methods of the process need to be used to manage the dual challenges of educating while providing safe surgical care. This requires integrating adult learning concepts into delivery of practical training and education in busy clinical environments. A narrative review aimed at outlining and integrating adult learning and surgical education theory was undertaken. Additionally, this information was used to relate the practical delivery of surgical training and education in day-to-day surgical practice. Concepts were sourced from reference material. Additional material was found using a PubMed search of the words: 'surgical education theory' and 'adult learning theory medical'. This yielded 1351 abstracts, of which 43 articles with a focus on key concepts in adult education theory were used. Key papers were used to formulate structure and additional cross-referenced papers were included where appropriate. Current concepts within adult learning have a lot to offer when considering how to better deliver surgical education and training. Better integration of adult learning theory can be fruitful. Individual teaching surgical units need to rethink their paradigms and consider how each individual can contribute to the education experience. Up skilling courses for trainers can do much to improve the delivery of surgical education. Understanding adult learning concepts and integrating these into day-to-day teaching can be valuable.
外科教育正不断从师徒模式演变而来。需要采用更新的教育方法来应对教育与提供安全外科护理这双重挑战。这就要求在繁忙的临床环境中将成人学习理念融入实践培训与教育的实施过程中。开展了一项叙述性综述，旨在概述并整合成人学习与外科教育理论。此外，这些信息还被用于关联日常外科实践中外科培训与教育的实际实施情况。相关概念源自参考资料。通过在PubMed上搜索“外科教育理论”和“成人学习理论医学”等关键词找到了更多材料。这检索出1351篇摘要，其中43篇聚焦成人教育理论关键概念的文章被采用。关键论文被用于构建结构，适当情况下还纳入了额外的交叉引用论文。在思考如何更好地开展外科教育与培训时，成人学习的当前概念有很多可借鉴之处。更好地整合成人学习理论可能会富有成效。各个外科教学单位需要重新思考其范式，并考虑每个人如何能为教育体验做出贡献。为培训师开设的技能提升课程对改善外科教育的实施大有帮助。理解成人学习概念并将其融入日常教学可能会很有价值。
