Résumé
Surgical training curricula have changed little over the past decades. Current advances in surgical techniques, especially in minimally invasive surgery, as well as the rapidly changing socioeconomic environment pose a major challenge for the training of young surgeons. The aim of this survey was to provide a representative overview of the surgical training landscape in Switzerland focusing on laparoscopic surgical training: How do department chairs of teaching hospitals deal with the above challenges, and what should a future training curriculum look like?
This is a prospective, questionnaire-based, cross-sectional study among the heads of departments of all certified surgical teaching hospitals in Switzerland.
The overall response rate was 56% (48/86) and 86% (19/22) for tertiary centers. Two-thirds of the centers (32) organize themselves in training networks. Laparoscopic training courses are offered in 25 (52%) hospitals, mainly in tertiary centers. Self-training opportunities exist in 40 (83%) hospitals. In addition to commercial (27) and self-built (7) box trainers, high-fidelity trainers are available in 16 (33%) hospitals. A mandatory training curriculum exists in 7 (15%) facilities, and a training assessment is performed in 15 (31%) institutions. Thirty-two (65%) heads of departments indicated that residents have sufficient practical exposure in the operating room, but the ability to work independently with obtaining the specialist title is seen critically (71%). They state that the surgical catalog does not adequately reflect the manual skills of the resident (64%). The desire is for training to be restructured from a numbers-based to a performance-based curriculum (53%) and for tools to assess residents' manual skills (56%) to be introduced.
Department chairs stated that the existing curriculum in Switzerland does not meet the requirements of a modern training curriculum. This study highlights the need to create an improved, competency-based curriculum that ensures the training of a new generation of surgeons, taking into account the growing evidence of the effectiveness of state-of-the-art training modalities such as simulation or proficiency-based training.
