“…5,19 Although difficult in practice, the ultimate goal is to demonstrate a relationship between introductory simulated training and safe performance of procedures and operative skills in the live clinical environment. 8,9,14,17,18,20,21 The ACGME now recognizes that structured education equivalent to participation in the SNS PGY1 boot camp courses is a required activity before PGY1 residents can be indirectly supervised for procedures and patient management competencies. 1 Many residency training programs, including one directed by the senior author, use simulated experience at the boot camp courses as a prerequisite for further training, observation, and safety validation in the live clinical environment at the home program, before approving performance of these procedures with indirect supervision.…”

Object In July 2010, the Society of Neurological Surgeons (SNS) introduced regional courses to promote patient safety and teach fundamental skills and knowledge to all postgraduate Year 1 (PGY1) trainees entering Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME)–accredited US neurosurgery residency programs. Data from these courses demonstrated significant didactic learning and high faculty and resident satisfaction with hands-on training. Here, the authors evaluated the durability of learning from and the relevance of participation in SNS PGY1 courses as measured midway through PGY1 training. Methods Resident participants were resurveyed 6 months after boot camp course attendance to assess knowledge retention and course effectiveness. Exposure to relevant hands-on experiences during PGY1 training and the subjective value of pre-residency simulated training in the courses were assessed. Results Ninety-four percent of all residents entering US PGY1 neurosurgical training participated in the 2010 SNS boot camp courses. One hundred sixty-four (88%) of these resident participants responded to the survey. Six months after course completion, 99% of respondents believed the boot camp courses benefited beginning neurosurgery residents and imparted skills and knowledge that would improve patient care. The PGY1 residents' knowledge of information taught in the courses was retained 6 months after initial testing (p < 0.0001). Conclusions The learning and other benefits of participation in a national curriculum for residents entering PGY1 neurosurgical training were maintained 6 months after the courses, halfway through the initial training year.

“…PERC Mentor system has been used as a comparative benchmark regarding price and reliability, being already studied for different validities with positive results. [10][11][12] During the course, different physical PERC trainers were available for the subjects to be used. In this limited cohort, the CAT was considered as ''better'' than any other physical PERC simulators available or previously used.…”
