To assess laparoscopic training curriculums in US Obstetrics and Gynecology residency programs.
A list of E-mail addresses was obtained for the accredited Obstetrics and Gynecology residency programs in the US from the CREOG Directory of Obstetric-Gynecologic Residency Programs and Directors. An E-mail survey containing 8 questions regarding laparoscopy training was sent to all residency directors with current E-mail addresses.
Seventy-four residency directors responded to the survey for a response rate of 41%. Residency programs from all sections of the US were included in the study. Results of the survey indicate that 69% of residency programs had implemented a formal laparoscopy training program. At least half of the program directors surveyed stated that lack of faculty time and funds were the main barriers to laparoscopic surgery training. Seventy-two percent of those surveyed thought that in the future the health-care industry would demand proof of competency in laparoscopy as standard of care.
Most US Obstetrics and Gynecology residency programs have implemented a formal laparoscopy training curriculum, use more than one method to train their residents, and involve almost half of their faculty on average in training residents to perform laparoscopic surgery.
评估美国妇产科住院医师培训项目中的腹腔镜培训课程。
从美国妇产科住院医师培训项目及主任的CREOG名录中获取美国认可的妇产科住院医师培训项目的电子邮件地址列表。向所有拥有当前电子邮件地址的住院医师培训项目主任发送了一份包含8个关于腹腔镜培训问题的电子邮件调查问卷。
74位住院医师培训项目主任回复了调查，回复率为41%。美国各地区的住院医师培训项目都纳入了该研究。调查结果表明，69%的住院医师培训项目实施了正式的腹腔镜培训项目。至少一半接受调查的项目主任表示，教员时间和资金短缺是腹腔镜手术培训的主要障碍。72%的受访者认为，未来医疗行业将要求腹腔镜操作能力证明作为护理标准。
大多数美国妇产科住院医师培训项目已实施正式的腹腔镜培训课程，使用多种方法培训住院医师，平均几乎有一半的教员参与培训住院医师进行腹腔镜手术。
