This review explores defining, teaching, and assessing surgical technical competence. Objective methods exist to measure and predict competence, crucial for effective surgical training programs.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Education
  • Medical Training
  • Competency-Based Education

Background:

  • Defining and assessing technical competence is vital for surgical training.
  • Existing literature lacks a consolidated review of technical competence in surgeons.
  • Broader definitions of competency are needed alongside technical skills.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the literature on defining, teaching, and assessing surgical technical competence.
  • To examine methods for predicting which surgical trainees will develop technical competence.
  • To integrate technical competence with broader definitions of surgical competency.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of studies on surgical technical competence.
  • Analysis of methods for defining and assessing surgical skills.

  • Examination of predictive models for trainee technical competence development.

    • Main Results:

    • Several objective methods are available to measure, assess, and predict technical competence.
    • The review synthesizes current knowledge on surgical technical skills acquisition.
    • Predictive factors for developing technical competence were identified.

    Conclusions:

    • Objective assessment and prediction methods for technical competence should be implemented in surgical training.
    • A multi-faceted approach to surgical competency, including technical skills, is essential.
    • Further research should focus on integrating technical competence assessment into broader surgical training frameworks.
