Forward Surgical Team Experience (FSTE) Is Associated With Increased Confidence With Combat Surgeon Trauma Skills.

Conclusions: Training programs and years of general surgery practice do not replace FSTE among military surgeons. Pre-deployment training that mimics FST skill sets should be developed to improve military surgeon confidence and outcomes. Level of Evidence: Prognostic and Epidemiologic, Level IV.
