This summary is machine-generated.

General surgery residency programs share common robotic surgery training elements but vary significantly. Formal guidance from the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) is needed for standardized robotic education.

Area of Science:

Surgical Education
Robotic Surgery Training

Background:

Robotically assisted surgery is increasingly used in general surgery.
Limited Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) guidance exists for robotic surgery training.

Purpose of the Study:

To identify commonalities and differences in robotic educational curricula among general surgery residency programs.
To inform the development of standardized robotic surgery training.

Main Methods:

Analysis of robotic educational curricula from 7 general surgery residency programs presented at a 2023 Association of Program Directors in Surgery workshop.
Comparative review of curriculum components, including simulation, case minimums, and progress monitoring.

Main Results:

All surveyed programs initiate robotic training in the intern year, utilize online modules, have dedicated simulation consoles, and conduct annual labs (dry and wet).
Common elements include bedside and console surgeon case minimums and administrative support.
Significant variations exist in intern year training execution, simulation requirements, clinical practice minimums, progress monitoring, and case tracking.

Conclusions:

General surgery robotic educational curricula share core components but exhibit substantial program-to-program variation.
Standardization and formal ACGME guidance are necessary due to the prevalence of robotic surgery and current lack of uniformity in residency training.
