Simulation-based training in urology residency programmes in the USA: Results of a nationwide survey

Abstract: ObjectiveTo evaluate the current usage of simulation in urological education in the USA and the barriers to incorporating a simulation-based educational curriculum, as the shift towards competency-based medical education has necessitated the introduction of simulation for training and assessing both non-technical and technical skills.Materials and methodsResidency programme directors at Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)-accredited urology training programmes in the USA were invited t… Show more

“…At the same time, the importance given to the learning curve needed in different diagnostic and therapeutic procedures to achieve adequate outcomes and results has increased. Many theoretical and practical training models have been introduced with the purpose of reducing the learning curve itself, in order to guarantee significant results in the shortest possible time [4][5][6][7][8]. In particular, in endourology, given the massive use of hands-on technology and instrumentation, we can find models of teaching and training aimed to improve the skills of residents and urologists in the use of these instruments and in the correct execution of procedures [9][10][11][12][13].…”

“…7 Hence, there is a need to train urologists using simulation-based training to fill in the lacunae of urology training. 8 van Renterghem and Ghazi rightly pointed out that the traditional Halsted principle of "see one, do one, teach one" is no longer feasible given the recent financial, medico-legal and ethical considerations of intraoperative training. 9 Various options in simulation training include animal models (such as pigs), synthetic models, cadaveric laboratories and virtual reality models.…”

“…Barriers to executing simulation-based training include regular updates in technology, cost, need for advance planning to obtain the consumables and difficult to spare time in hectic residency hours in high-volume centers. 8 Lentz et al first documented the positive outcomes of training American residents in PP surgery using cadaveric models as part of the 2017 Society of Urologic Prosthetic Surgeons and Sexual Medicine Society of North America Annual Meeting. The group noted significant improvement in procedural test scores and median surgical confidence levels.…”

“…Medical Simulation Training began in 1960 with the clinical use of the Resusci-Anne model, it is worldwide spread since then [7]. Application of simulation training was mainly in surgical training [8][9][10][11][12], trauma education [13], emergency medical treatment [14], Neonatal Resuscitation Program(NRP) [15], Pediatric Life Support Training [16], nursing education [17][18] among residents, medical students, doctors, nurses and other medical staffs. Conducting of cased-based simulation training could dramatically improve the clinical skills of health care workers, positively influenced intern outlook and attitude, promote the prognosis and outcome of patients, enhance multidisciplinary team work and has economic benefits and economic effect advantages [19][20][21][22][23][24][25].…”
