Abstract
AbstractTechnology is a major driver of the revolutionary changes in surgery, with robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RAMIS) being one of the latest major additions to surgical practice. Not only is new curriculum development for training and assessment needed, but certification, credentials, and privileging are required. New methodologies for training and assessment such as Proficiency-based Progression (PBP), objective structured assessment (OSATS), and crowd-sourced assessment of technical skills (C-SATS) have been developed to objectively and quantitatively evaluate technical skills performance in RAMIS. The “certification” of surgeons to perform RAMIS is undergoing development at numerous levels, and consensus has not been reached due to the complexity of the new technology and to the wide variety of surgical specialties and types of surgical practices. Because the rapid discovery of innovative new technologies will soon require a reiteration of the above training and assessment processes, there is a need for continuous professional development (CPD) and life-long learning.KeywordsRobotic surgery trainingObjective AssessmentCertificationSimulationSurgical skillsFuture technologies
