This is a growing discipline within the medical industry supported by the likes of Attrainability and Air2Med - ex TCs applying their CRM experiences.

Surgeons are actively looking to improve operatability as a cohesive team in a controlled environment and the many lessons of multi-crew interaction (e.g checklist use, briefings, communication loops, allocation of roles, leadership/followership, DODAR & NITS, confirmation bias & error chain avoidance etc...) can be applied to the surgical environment. After all there are CRM similairites to amputating the wrong leg and shutting down the wrong engine... which has happened in both professions.
