About

Dr. Masayuki Chida is a leading figure in thoracic surgical education, with a focus on standardizing and advancing simulation-based training. His most impactful work, the 2023 international needs assessment, garnered 13 citations and established a global consensus on technical procedures for simulation-based curricula. By leading a three-round Delphi survey involving 34 key opinion leaders from 14 countries, Dr. Chida identified and prioritized the core skills essential for thoracic surgery training, directly addressing gaps in current educational frameworks. Additionally, his 2020 analysis of Japan’s general thoracic surgery training program (4 citations) critically evaluated the present status and future challenges, offering actionable insights for curriculum reform. Through these contributions, Dr. Chida has shaped international standards for surgical simulation, bridging the gap between expert opinion and practical training needs. His work is instrumental for educators and trainees seeking evidence-based, globally harmonized approaches to thoracic surgical education, ensuring that future surgeons are equipped with validated, high-fidelity simulation experiences.
