“…Local skills labs or mobile equipment sponsored by medical associations could help to get the cost down. Simulators can be effectively used as a part of a multimodal training curriculum [15]. Furthermore, they can be used to make regions and hospital groups more attractive to future surgeons.…”

“…While the OSATS metric has been extensively utilized and validated for the evaluation of resident’s performance of technical skills, 7 , 9 , 10 , 25 its use as a tool to evaluate the efficacy of simulation laboratories has only been recently described. 11 – 16 , 26 Anderson and colleagues suggested that any study that utilized the OSATS as a stand-alone assessment measure ignored critical objective assessments regarding the end product of the tested technical procedure. 27 For this reason, we supplemented the OSATS evaluation with a blinded, objective assessment of the decompression procedure.…”

Study Design:Randomized, prospective study within an orthopedic surgery resident program at a large urban academic medical center.Objectives:To develop an inexpensive, user-friendly, and reproducible lumbar laminectomy bioskills training module and evaluation protocol that can be readily implemented into residency training programs to augment the clinical education of orthopedic and neurosurgical physicians-in-training.Methods:Twenty participants comprising senior medical students and orthopedic surgical residents. Participants were randomized to control (n = 9) or intervention (n = 11) groups controlling for level of experience (medical students, junior resident, or senior resident). The intervention group underwent a 40-minute bioskills training module, while the control group spent the same time with self-directed study. Pre- and posttest performance was self-reported by each participant (Physician Performance Diagnostic Inventory Scale [PPDIS]). Objective outcome scores were obtained from a blinded fellowship-trained attending orthopedic spine surgeon using Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) and Objective Decompression Score metrics.Results:When compared with the control group, the intervention group yielded a significant mean improvement in OSATS (P = .022) and PPDIS (P = .0001) scores. The Objective Decompression Scores improved in the intervention group with a trend toward significance (P = .058).Conclusions:We conclude that a concise lumbar laminectomy bioskills training session can be a useful educational tool for to augment clinical education. Although no direct clinical correlation can be concluded from this study, the improvement in trainee’s technical and procedural skills suggests that Sawbones training modules can be an efficient and effective tool for teaching fundamental spine surgical skills outside of the operating room.

“…External or multi-institutional studies of more advanced prototypes were completed in the case for all of the models presented, with exception of the VU and NLM models. [5][6][7][8][9][13][14][15][16][17][18] Table 1 provides a summary of models with published validity evidence.…”

“…Singlesite validation as part of a ureteroscopic OSATS led to minor modifications and a subsequent multi-institutional study accumulated excellent validity evidence for assessing endoscopic skills. 8,13 Hundreds of the Version 1.0 models are being used today. Based on feedback on Version 1.0, Version 2.0 prototype has been created out of polyurethane that more accurately simulates ureteral friction forces.…”

Multi-Institutional Validation of an OSATS for the Assessment of Cystoscopic and Ureteroscopic Skills

Abstract: In this multi-institutional study we successfully demonstrated the construct and internal validity of an objective assessment of cystoscopic and ureteroscopic cognitive and technical skills, including laser lithotripsy.
