Abstract
Anatomical knowledge is a key tenet in graduate medical and surgical education. Classically, these principles are taught in the operating room during live surgical experience. This puts both the learner and the patient at a disadvantage due to environment, time, and safety constraints. Educational adjuncts such as cadaveric courses and surgical skills didactics have been shown to improve resident confidence and proficiency in both anatomical knowledge and surgical techniques. However, the cost-effectiveness of these courses is a limiting factor, and in many cases prevents implementation within institutional training programs. Anatomical simulation in the form of "desktop" 3D printing provides a cost-effective adjunct while maintaining educational value. This manuscript describes the anatomical and patient-centered approach that led to the establishment of our institution's 3D printing laboratory for anatomical and procedural education.
