The European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EAES) strives to be a leader in promoting the development and expansion of minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Part of the association's mission statement is "to become an information hub for all practitioners of MIS". It is therefore important that the education segment of the association continues to be actively monitored and updated to ensure this mission statement is met. This project aimed to understand the trainees requirement in fulfilling this role, and to develop an practical action plan to ensure such requirements are adequately met.
Two sequential questionnaires were sent to all members of the EAES. The questionnaires sought to understand the demographics of the EAES membership, and their training requirements. This followed a Delphi methodology. The data collected included training status, level of competence in laparoscopic surgery and tools needed for improving laparoscopic skills.
Four hundred and sixty-five responded to the first survey, and 209 responded to the second survey. There were 112 trainees (24.1%) in the first round. More than 50% of trainees were less than 8 years from graduation from medical school. Only 162 (34.8%) of respondents performed MIS in more than half their practice. Videos of common procedures were ranked the highest in terms of what trainees required to help improve their laparoscopic skills, followed by e-learning modules.
There is a significant training gap identified amongst the trainee population of the EAES with regards to MIS training. Trainees were not performing MIS enough for them to feel confident with their skills. The EAES could fulfill this training requirement via expertly curated videos, and e-learning modules written by senior specialists.
欧洲内镜外科学会（EAES）努力成为推动微创外科（MIS）发展和扩张的领导者。协会使命宣言的一部分是“成为所有 MIS 从业者的信息中心”。因此，协会的教育部分必须继续得到积极监测和更新，以确保实现这一使命宣言。本项目旨在了解学员在履行这一角色方面的要求，并制定切实可行的行动计划，以确保满足这些要求。
向 EAES 的所有成员发送了两份连续的问卷。这些问卷旨在了解 EAES 会员的人口统计学特征及其培训需求。这遵循了德尔菲方法。收集的数据包括培训状况、腹腔镜手术的熟练程度以及提高腹腔镜技能所需的工具。
第一次调查有 465 人回复，第二次调查有 209 人回复。第一轮有 112 名学员（24.1%）。超过 50%的学员在医学院毕业后不到 8 年。只有 162 名（34.8%）受访者在超过一半的实践中进行 MIS。帮助提高腹腔镜技能的常见手术视频在学员所需的内容中排名最高，其次是电子学习模块。
EAES 的学员人群在 MIS 培训方面存在明显的培训差距。学员进行 MIS 的次数不足以让他们对自己的技能有信心。EAES 可以通过精心策划的视频和由资深专家撰写的电子学习模块来满足这一培训需求。
