With robotic technology's rapid growth and integration, an urgent need to bridge the educational gap in thoracic surgical training has emerged. This document, a result of consensus among a group of experts in the practice and training of robotic surgery from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, aims to provide a framework for a standardized national robotic curriculum for thoracic surgery trainees.
The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Task Force on Robotic Thoracic Surgery and Workforce on E-learning and Educational Innovation assembled an expert group with the input of the Thoracic Surgery Director's Association. A focused literature review was performed, and expert consensus statements were developed using a modified Delphi process to address 3 major themes: (1) program expectations, (2) components of training, and (3) assessment and feedback.
A consensus was reached on 12 recommendations. These consensus statements reflect updated insights on developing a standardized robotics curriculum based on the latest literature and current educational experience, focusing on program expectations and educational guidelines to develop an optimal training curriculum.
The expert panel provides several key recommendations to provide a framework for developing a standardized national robotic thoracic curriculum, which would improve resident education and abridge any educational disparity that may exist among programs.
随着机器人技术的迅速发展与整合，弥合胸外科手术培训中的教育差距变得刻不容缓。本文档是胸外科医师协会机器人手术实践与培训领域的一组专家达成共识的成果，旨在为胸外科住院医师制定标准化的全国机器人课程提供一个框架。
胸外科医师协会机器人胸外科特别工作组以及电子学习与教育创新工作小组，在胸外科主任协会的参与下组建了一个专家组。进行了针对性的文献综述，并采用改良的德尔菲法制定专家共识声明，以解决3个主要主题：（1）项目期望，（2）培训内容，（3）评估与反馈。
就12项建议达成了共识。这些共识声明反映了基于最新文献和当前教育经验制定标准化机器人课程的最新见解，重点关注项目期望和教育指南，以制定最佳培训课程。
专家小组提供了几项关键建议，为制定标准化的全国机器人胸外科课程提供框架，这将改善住院医师教育，并弥合各项目之间可能存在的教育差距。
