Where this comes from

Abstract

The process of novices becoming proficient and independent in performing complex technical skills has been investigated in depth. It is clear that a mastery learning approach, with a planned programme to achieve a high level of performance, leads to superior learning and clinical outcomes. Here, we explain the process and theoretical underpinnings of mastery learning, and how emerging technologies might influence skill acquisition in the future.
