“…9–11 Each course consisted of 6 participants, and participants from both the groups were randomly allotted to a course. The course consisted of a video demonstration on principles of laparoscopic suturing that was followed by 2 h of practicing laparoscopic suturing on a cloth model with the help of instructors.…”

“…They can obtain the training effect of surgical procedures in a short time. Our previous studies have shown that this trainer is effective in imparting training to novice surgeons by providing a real-time simulation of the OR 3,4,6. In a previous study done on this module, we have shown that the trainees acquire the laparoscopic skills effectively and showed statistically significant improvement in all domains of GOALS by the end of their training 4.…”

Background: Meta-analysis has shown the effectiveness of various training methods for the acquisition of laparoscopic skills in surgical training. However, there is very limited literature focusing on the translation of skill acquisition on training models into improved operating room (OR) performance. This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the Tuebingen trainer with integrated Porcine tissue in improving OR the performance of surgical trainees using standard assessment tools. Materials and Methods:The study was a single-blinded doublearmed randomized control study conducted between July 2016 and March 2018. Eighteen, fourth, and fifth semesters of surgery residents were included in the study. The baseline performance was assessed in OR by performing laparoscopic cholecystectomy using validated scores, that is, Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills (GOALS), Additional Five Criteria, Task-specific Checklist, Error Checklist, Visual Analogue Scale. The residents were then randomized into trainee and nontrainee groups. The training group received 5 days of short-term-focused training on the Tuebingen trainer, and the improvement was reassessed in OR. Results:The demographic profile of residents was similar. The baseline scores were comparable. The training group showed statistically significant improvement in GOALS (9.88 ± 1.76 to 12 ± 0.66, P = 0.05 vs. 10.33 ± 1.5 to 11.4 ± 2.24, P = 0.28), taskspecific checklist (42.22 ± 10.92 to 53.33 ± 14.14, P = 0.027 vs. 45.55 ± 10.13 to 50 ± 17.32, P = 0.51), and error checklist. The operating time significantly reduced (36.0 ± 4.03 vs. 50.44 ± 11.39, P = 0.0025) following training.Conclusions: Our study concludes that the training on the Tuebingen trainer with integrated porcine organs results in a statistically significant improvement in the OR performance of surgical residents as compared with the nontrained residents, thereby indicating a transfer of skills from training to OR.

“…On the contrary, there is substantial literature that supports the use of short-course format for medical and surgical primary education as well as continuing medical education (Morino et al, 1995;Keleher et al, 2005;Cheifetz and Phang, 2006;Patel et al, 2008;Scott et al, 2008;Devine et al, 2009;Bansal et al, 2012;Wilkins et al, 2015). There is objective and subjective knowledge retention and maintenance of skills at follow-up dates as long as 17 months (Keleher et al, 2005;Cheifetz and Phang, 2006;Scott et al, 2008;Devine et al, 2009;Bansal et al, 2012;Wilkins et al, 2015). There is evidence that maintenance of surgical skills requires continuing use of those skills garnered (Patel et al, 2008).…”

“…From a broader perspective, short-course style learning experiences are becoming more common in medical and surgical education given demands on time, resources, and the complicated ethics of health-care education (Patel et al, 2008;Bansal et al, 2012). The effectiveness and maintenance of knowledge and skills garnered from a short-course format learning experience has been challenged in the literature (Mackay, 2006;Malling et al, 2009).…”

introduction: The AAOS International Scholars Program was launched in 2002 with the goal of enhancing the knowledge and skills of orthopedic surgeons in underserved regions. The goals of this study were to (1) characterize the professional and practice profile of scholarship recipients, (2) assess the perceived impact of this short-term educational experience on their clinical practice, (3) if/how the knowledge and skills have been disseminated to students and/or colleagues, and (4) assess career development in a subset of scholarship recipients.Method: The AAOS international scholar database was accessed to review the scholarship applications and all available follow-up questionnaires for 103 scholarship recipients.results: Respondents generally practiced in an academic institution, incorporated the knowledge and skills learned during the short-term educational experience in their practices, and introduced the information acquired to medical students, residents, and colleagues alike. In general, the recipients demonstrated a substantial progress in their career development.conclusion: Our impression is that this short-term educational experience was successful in imparting new knowledge and skills to the scholarship recipients who then shared these experiences with their peers and trainees. Further study will be required to understand the impact of this program on the long-term professional development of the recipients and enhanced health care of the region.
