Abstract: Surgical skill training of cardiac surgeons is faced with multiple challenges with the development and evolution of cardiac surgery. The cardiac surgery simulation curriculum (CSSC) was piloted during cardiac surgery specialist training in the United States since 2010. This article reviews and analyzes the current status of CSSC from the aspects of simulation technique development, curriculum setting, assessment system, and application effect. CSSC may improve the cardiac surgery specialist training in China on aspects such as modularized curriculum setting, assessment system, team-based simulation training, and faculty configuration.
