Simulation-based education (SBE) enhances urology training by addressing reduced clinical exposure. The UK Urology Simulation Boot Camp (USBC) effectively equips trainees with essential technical and non-technical skills for competence.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Implementation Science

Background:

  • Reduced operative and non-technical skills exposure for urology trainees due to factors like the European Working Time Directive and COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Simulation-based education (SBE) offers a solution to bridge the skills-based learning gap and meet curriculum requirements.
  • Effective implementation of SBE requires careful planning for sustainability and reproducibility.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the design, delivery, reproduction, sustainability, and evaluation of the UK Urology Simulation Boot Camp (USBC).
  • To demonstrate how implementation science methodology can create an effective simulation-based training adjunct.
  • To highlight the USBC's role in equipping new urology trainees with core technical and non-technical skills.

  • Utilizing implementation science principles to design the UK Urology Simulation Boot Camp (USBC).
  • Developing a comprehensive training course aligned with the Joint Committee on Surgical Training (JCST) urological training curriculum.
  • Delivering the USBC annually since 2015, focusing on core technical and non-technical skills.

Main Results:

  • The USBC has received excellent feedback and demonstrated improvements in urological knowledge and trainee confidence.
  • The course has been successfully incorporated into the UK urology training program and is recommended for all new residents since 2018.
  • The implementation model is adaptable to other surgical specialties.

Conclusions:

  • The UK Urology Simulation Boot Camp (USBC) is a successful and reproducible model for urology training.
  • Simulation-based education, guided by implementation science, effectively addresses skills deficits in surgical trainees.
  • The USBC model provides a scalable solution for enhancing surgical training across specialties.
