(2.0) Trainee Questionnaire: Understanding the acquistion of Fundamental Laparoscopic Skills required by the end of Higher Specialty Training. |
Psychomotor skills required to gain proficiency in laparoscopic surgery are difficult to acquire and trainees wishing to become laparoscopic surgeons face a steep learning curve. In both specialties, obtaining adequate exposure to operative work is a multifaceted challenge for the trainees as well as those involved in designing and delivering surgical training
Whilst the requirements for CCT for general operative skills in open and laparoscopic surgery are comparable in both O&G and GS, the training pathways defer significantly. GS training is 8 years in duration (CT1,CT2, ST3-ST8), whereas O&G consists of 7 years of specialty training (ST1–ST7). The ST1-ST5 years in O&G are mainly devoted to obstetrics and only those trainees pursuing a gynaecological training pathway undertake an intensive period of surgical training in the last two years of their training. We believe there is also earlier exposure to laparoscopy in GS training with a greater volume of laparoscopic work in comparison to O&G training
The aim of this survey is to compare the perception and confidence of laparoscopic ability experienced by GS and O&G trainees.
By proceeding with the survey, you confirm that you understand:
- Any responses you give will remain anonymous
- Your participation is voluntary
- You consent for the information you provide to be analysed and used for research and publication
- You consent to Lancaster University keeping the anonymised data for a period of 10 years after the study has finished
The Survey will take no longer than 4 minutes. Thank you for your participation.
