Abstract
Postgraduate medical training has evolved considerably from an emphasis on hands-on, autonomous learning to a paradigm where simulation technologies are used to introduce and augment certain skill sets. This review is intended to provide an update on surgical simulators and tools for urological trainee education. We provide an overview of simulation platforms for robotics, endoscopy, and laparoscopic practice and training. In general, these simulators provide face, content, and construct validity. Various educational and evaluation tools have been adopted. Simulation platforms have been developed for technical and non-technical surgical skills, educational bootcamps, and tools for evaluation and feedback. While trainees find the opportunity to practice their skills beneficial, there may be difficulty with access due to cost and availability. Additionally, there is a need for more objective metrics demonstrating improvement in skill or patient outcome.
