Surgical Simulation: Validating Methods to Improve Orthopaedic Resident Skills Competency
نویسندگان
چکیده
Surgical reconstruction of fractured extremities is a complex procedure that orthopaedic residents must master during training. Currently, training is based on an apprenticeship model, which while beneficial, is not uniform and does not provide any means to assess skills competency. Surgical simulation can help address shortcomings in the training model by providing residents opportunities to (1) practice procedures that they may not otherwise perform and (2) practice said procedures efficiently until competency is achieved, (3) while limiting exposure of patients to undue risk.

Skill Acquisition and Retention Following Simulation-Based Training in Pavlik Harness Application
BACKGROUND Simulation-based learning is increasingly prevalent in many surgical training programs, as medical education moves toward competency-based curricula. In orthopaedic surgery, developmental dysplasia of the hip is a commonly treated condition, where the standard of care for patients less than six months of age is an orthotic device such as the Pavlik harness. However, despite widesprea...
متن کاملA Randomized Controlled Pilot Study of Educational Techniques in Teaching Basic Arthroscopic Skills in a Low-Income Country
Background: Little is known about how to introduce complex technologies like arthroscopy into low-income countries. Thus, we compared low- versus high-resource intensive methods of teaching basic arthroscopic skills in a randomized controlled trial in Haiti. Methods: Forty-eight Haitian orthopaedic surgeons and residents attending an orthopaedic conference in Haiti were block randomized to rec...
متن کاملA Surgical Virtual Reality Simulator Distinguishes Between Expert Gynecologic Laparoscopic Surgeons and Perinatologists
BACKGROUND Concern regarding the quality of surgical training in obstetrics and gynecology residency programs is focusing attention on competency based education. Because open surgical skills cannot necessarily be translated into laparoscopic skills and with minimally invasive surgery becoming standard in operative gynecology, the discrepancy in training between obstetrics and gynecology will ...
متن کاملA Simulation-based Quality Improvement Approach to Improve Pediatric Resident Competency with Required Procedures
INTRODUCTION Pediatric residents report a lack of confidence and competence with procedural skills at graduation. Training programs could benefit from improved approaches to target these needs. Using the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) Model for Improvement and three Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles, we examined the impact of a procedure simulation boot camp on self-reported procedura...
متن کاملA model for training and evaluation of myringotomy and tube placement skills.
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS Simulation is emerging as a mandatory component of surgical training and a means of demonstrating surgical competency. We designed a cost-effective, low-fidelity model to further acquisition of technical skills related to myringotomy and ventilation tube insertion (M&T). The purpose of the study was to examine the skills trainer as a method of assessment to evaluate compet...
