Resident Performance on the Fundamentals of Arthroscopic Surgery Training (FAST) Workstation Does Not Predictably Improve With Postgraduate Year.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To identify differences in performance on the Fundamentals of Arthroscopic Surgery Training (FAST) workstation between residents across different postgraduate years and training sites.

Methods

During the 2018-2019 academic year, 102 orthopaedic surgery residents from 4 training sites completed 6 FAST modules. Failure was defined as either completion time exceeding benchmark time or commission of task-specific errors. With the exception of knot tying, each module was completed by participants twice-once with each hand serving as the camera hand. Time to completion (except for knot tying) and errors were recorded for each of the modules. Completion times and failure rates were compared between postgraduate years, seniority groups, and training sites.

Results

In all modules for which time was recorded, except for the suture-passage module, there was no significant difference in time to completion based on seniority (P < .01 for suture passage and P > .05 for all others). Significant differences in completion time were observed between sites for all modules except for the suture-passage module (P = .957 for suture passage and P < .05 for all others). Site predicted failure by at least 1 measure (time or technical error) for all modules (P < .05) except for number probing and suture passage. Failure rate across training years varied for each module.

Conclusions

Time to completion and rate of failure did not predictably decrease with level of training. Training site proved to be a significant predictor of performance. Factors such as hand dominance and familiarity with the equipment proved to be important considerations for some modules.

Clinical relevance

Objective assessment of arthroscopic skills among orthopaedic trainees is difficult. Using reproducible methodology to assess trainees on specific skills at all postgraduate years and at multiple training sites may provide important information about orthopaedic training.

Project description:Introduction: In different German regions, seminar programs have been conducted for General practice residents. In each region, selection and teaching of learning content is conducted in a different manner. So far, no structured, standardized curriculum has been implemented nationwide. We have investigated, if the development of a common 5-year program of learning topics is conceivable between the different university departments of General practice in Germany. Method: The seminar program working group of the DEGAM (German College of General Practitioners and Family Physicians) has conducted an online survey based on information gathered via preliminary telephone conference (n=7; physicians with postgraduate teaching experience) among all German university departments of General Practice and two non-university teaching institutions, identified via the internet. 884 topics were extracted from 14 Seminar programs. The topics were entered in a database, discussed and categorized: Practice management/practice work flow/standardized documentation forms/quality management (n=33 topics), common acute and chronic diseases, including disease management programs (n=29 topics), communication, neurological, psychological and psychiatric consultations (n=24 topics), common medical problems, including eye, ear, nose, throat, skin and pediatric problems (n=99 Topics) family physicians general approach, including epidemiology, shared decision making, test of time (n=42 Topics). These topics have been rated for priority and desirable number of teaching-units. Results: A catalogue of 111 topics was designed, encompassing 160 teaching units. There is a suggestion of wide topics collections plus an add-on catalogue. Conclusion: A proposal for a 5-year-thematic catalogue for postgraduate training of general practice residents in Germany has been developed. This newly developed curriculum has the potential to improve knowledge and skills that have not been covered during in-house and ambulatory general practice residencies.
