Robotic Surgical Training for Residents and Fellows-Robotic Surgical Training for Residents and Fellows

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Nazima Siddiqui discusses robotic surgical training for residents and fellows. She highlights the importance of standardized training programs to optimize the training experience and maintain operative experience for trainees. She introduces the Robotic Training Network (RTN) curriculum, which follows a milestone-based approach and includes a pre-test, articles, web-based modules, and dry lab practice. Dr. Siddiqui also discusses the role of virtual reality simulators in ongoing training to maintain skills and the potential for procedure-specific training in areas such as hysterectomy and sacrocolpopexy. She emphasizes the need for trainees to achieve minimum competence before assisting at the console and discusses the development of a test of readiness to operate at the console. Dr. Siddiqui also highlights the Morristown protocol, which is a training program that allows trainees to train towards expertise in robotic surgery. Overall, the video provides valuable insights into the various aspects of robotic surgical training for residents and fellows.
