Development and evaluation of a simulation-based continuing medical education course: beyond lectures and credit hours
Conclusions Simulation-based continuing medical education courses provide hands-on experiences that can positively affect clinical practice. Although our data appear to show a significant mismatch between clinical skill and simulator difficulty, these findings also underscore significant learning needs in the surgical community.

The predictive value of aptitude assessment in laparoscopic surgery: a meta‐analysis
ConclusionsIn general, aptitude assessments are associated with laparoscopic skill level. Simulator‐based assessment of aptitude appears to have the potential to represent a job sample and to enable the assessment of all forms of aptitude for laparoscopic surgery at once. A laparoscopy aptitude test can be a valuable additional tool in the assessment of candidates for medical specialties that require laparoscopic skills.

Trends of Hysterectomies Performed by Graduating Residents Using American College of Graduate Medical Education Case Log
We sought to evaluate the overall trend in hysterectomies for obstetrics and gynecology (OBGYN) resident surgeons from 2002 through 2017 using the data from the Accreditation Counsel for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The data stratifies hysterectomy type by abdominal (TAH), vaginal (TVH), and laparoscopic (TLH). We hypothesize that the rates of TVH and TAH will decrease during this time period with a concurrent increase in TLH.

Evaluation of surgical educational videos available for third year medical students.
Conclusions: We identified a lack of quality and thorough educational surgical videos appropriate for third year medical students and a need for improved online video based instruction. Our checklist can be utilized as a guide for anyone creating surgical videos for medical student education in the future.

Implementation of a Laparoscopic Simulation Training in Undergraduate Medical Education - The L übeck Toolbox-Curriculum.
Conclusion As an addition to the regular undergraduate program, the Lübeck Toolbox Curriculum was well accepted by many students. Evaluation showed exceedingly positive results. Furthermore, the data suggest that the LTB Curriculum may increase the interest in a surgical specialty among medical students. This aspect seems to be relevant in times where surgeons should make every effort to recruit young doctors for surgical residency.

Creating 3D models from Radiologic Images for Virtual Reality Medical Education Modules
AbstractVirtual Reality (VR) is a powerful tool that has increasingly being used by medical field in recent years. It has been mainly used surgical training in particular laparoscopic procedures. VR can be used for the teaching of anatomy. The aim of the study is to show application of transforming 2D radiologic images into 3D model by using thresholding and segmentation and import into VR interface at an affordable cost. Four anatomy modules are created with inputs to control the rotational and translational movement of 3D models in the virtual space. These movements allow users to explore 3D models by using head tilt and...

A systematic review of validity evidence for checklists versus global rating scales in simulation‐based assessment
ConclusionsChecklist inter‐rater reliability and trainee discrimination were more favourable than suggested in earlier work, but each task requires a separate checklist. Compared with the checklist, the GRS has higher average inter‐item and inter‐station reliability, can be used across multiple tasks, and may better capture nuanced elements of expertise.

Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) Surgery Resident Operative Logs: The Last Quarter Century
Conclusions: Although total operative volume rebounded after implementation of DHR, diversity of operative experienced narrowed. The combined increase in alimentary and abdominal cases is nearly 13%, over a half-year's worth of operating in 5-year training programs. Bedrock general surgery cases—trauma, vascular, pediatrics, and breast—decreased. Laparoscopic operations have steadily increased. If the competence of current graduates has, in fact, diminished. Our analysis suggests that operative volume is not the problem. Rather, changing disease processes, subspecialization, reductions in resident autonomy, and technic...

Mauna Kea, Cook Medical terminate Cellvizio dev, distro deal
Mauna Kea (ENT:MKEA) said today that it and Cook Medical have mutually decided to terminate their development and distribution agreement.
The deal, originally inked in late 2015, included the development of Mauna Kea’s Cellvizio confocal laser endomicroscopy systems for urologic applications. Paris-based Mauna Kea said that it agreed to develop a private-label version of the Cellvizio with an emphasis on characterizing upper urinary tract urothelial cancer.
“Mauna Kea was understandably excited by the prospect of combining our innovative, confocal laser endomicroscopy technology with an established medical devices...

Are we generating more assessments without added value? Surgical trainees ’ perceptions of and receptiveness to cross-specialty assessment
DiscussionTrainees ’ trepidation at the idea of using outside assessors to meet increased assessment demands appeared grounded in their expectations for assessment. What trainees appeared to desire was a coach—someone who could break their performance into its critical individual components—as opposed to an ass essor whose role was limited to scoring their performance. Understanding trainees’ receptivity to new assessment approaches is crucial; otherwise training programs run the risk of generating more assessments without added value.

Appendectomy in surgical residency : What has changed over the past 10 years?
CONCLUSION: Regardless of the surgical technique used, appendectomy is still a primary training operation for surgical residents. An early and focused training of minimally invasive visceral surgery in the new regulations for continuing medical education starts with laparoscopic appendectomy.
