This study demonstrates a feasible centralized simulation program for urology training, integrating technical and non-technical skills. The program effectively enhances surgical skills in a simulated environment, improving future patient safety.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Simulation Technology

Background:

  • Competent urologists require technical, team-working, communication, and decision-making skills.
  • Evidence for simulation's effectiveness in combined technical and non-technical skills training programs is limited.
  • This article details the development and validation of a simulation program for urological specialist registrars.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish the feasibility and acceptability of a centralized, simulation-based urological training program.
  • To integrate training for both technical and non-technical skills relevant to urologists.
  • To assess the utility of simulation in enhancing surgical competencies.

Main Methods:

  • A structured, multimodal simulation training program was developed for the London Deanery.

Creation of a High-Fidelity, Low-Cost, Intraosseous Line Placement Task Trainer via 3D Printing

Published on: August 17, 2022

  • Technical skills were trained using virtual reality simulators, bench-top models, and a wet-lab facility.
  • Non-technical skills, including crisis resource management, were taught using simulated operating theaters and mannequins.

    • Main Results:

    • 33 specialist registrars and 5 urological nurses participated.
    • 90% of participants found the training models realistic and easy to use.
    • 95% recommended simulation for surgical training, and 60% desired greater access to simulation facilities.

    Conclusions:

    • A centralized simulation program effectively integrates technical and non-technical urological skills training.
    • The program is feasible and acceptable to trainees.
    • Simulation training is expected to improve surgeon performance and enhance patient safety.
