We aimed to assess whether early exposure of medical students to robotic surgery training influences their interest in a surgical career and improves scores on objective simulation tasks. Medical students were invited to participate in robotic online training modules, robotic simulation exercises followed by a hands-on robotic dry-lab session. Pre- and post-simulator scores were recorded. A 29-question anonymous survey was recorded before and after the lab. Seventy percent reported that the training had a positive impact on influencing their decision to pursue a general surgery career. Students showed significantly improved skill and performance on simulation activities post-training. After the training, students felt knowledgeable about robotics, more comfortable operating robotically, and thought that robotic surgery would hold a significant place in the future of surgery. Exposing students to robotic training positively impacts their perception of surgery as a career choice and results in improvement in objective scores on simulation tasks.
我们旨在评估医学生早期接触机器人手术培训是否会影响他们对手术职业的兴趣，并提高客观模拟任务的分数。邀请医学生参加机器人在线培训模块、机器人模拟练习，然后进行机器人干实验室实践。记录模拟前后的分数。在实验室前后记录了一份 29 个问题的匿名调查。70%的人报告说，培训对他们决定从事普通外科职业有积极影响。学生在培训后在模拟活动中的技能和表现有显著提高。培训后，学生对机器人技术有了更多的了解，操作机器人更加自如，并认为机器人手术将在未来的手术中占据重要地位。让学生接触机器人培训对他们对手术作为职业选择的看法产生积极影响，并导致模拟任务的客观分数提高。
