Condition: Learning Curves and Outcomes of Simulation-based Training · Sponsor: Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation
The training of orthopedic surgeons has historically relied heavily on an apprenticeship model as the primary way of teaching the various procedures an aspiring surgeon needs to master. However, due to work-hour restrictions, demand for operating room efficiency, lack of supervisors and a growing focus and concern for patient safety, this model is challenged. As the importance of proper education and supervision of surgeons in training is still monumental, simulation-based training (SBT) has gained popularity within most medical specialties, as it provides a safe, and realistic room for training, where surgeons can effectively enhance their operating technique without posing a threat to patient safety. Techniques within orthopedic surgery are no exception to this tendency, and several virtual reality simulators and SBT courses has been developed. This includes the well-established SBT course in proximal femoral fracture (PFF) osteosynthesis, where evidence supported mastery standards for antegrade nailing, dynamic hip screw, Hansson pins and canulated screws have been established. A course that is recommended in the national curriculum for Danish orthopedic surgeons in training. This change into a more technology- and simulation-based training does however pose challenges, that needs to be acknowledged and addressed to ensure the quality of the education and clinical skills of the orthopedic surgeons. A key challenge is the limited resource of qualified instructors. These i…
