Seasoned surgeons assessed in a laparoscopic surgical crisis.
Powers K, Rehrig ST, Schwaitzberg SD, Callery MP, Jones DB. J Gastrointest Surg. 2009;13:994-1003. 

This study compared the performance of surgeons younger and older than 55 in a simulated operative setting to demonstrate that age in itself is an arbitrary predictor of skill assessment. The authors advocate for simulation as a potential tool to evaluate performance in the context of re-credentialing.
