A preoperative machine check is imperative, yet machine faults are missed despite experience. We hypothesized that a simulation training session would improve junior residents' ability to perform a machine check beyond the level of final year residents who received only didactic training. ⋯ Our results suggest that an experiential training session allowed junior residents to achieve skills superior to those of senior colleagues after a five-year residency. This training was retained for two to four years as they continued to outperform their comparative controls.
