PROSPECT: PROficiency Based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training: Multicentric Registry
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this multicentric registry is to gather data from trainees completing PROSPECT: a PROficiency Based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training to obtain basic cognitive and technical skills. The main goals are to identify if:
-
Results from a previous randomised controlled trail can be reproduced in real life.
-
Evaluate skills retention after program completion.
-
Assess real life implementation of the training program.

Detailed Description
A validated PROSPECT (PROficiency-based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training) training has been integrated into the training of surgical residents to teach basic cognitive, technical and non-technical endovascular skills. The program uses virtual reality simulation and E-learning. During the four modules of the program, formative feedback is given after each training session. Only after achieving a predetermined benchmark score, trainees can progress to the next module.
Surgical trainees completing PROSPECT showed superior real live endovascular performance compared to the traditionally trained in a single centre randomised controlled trial (RCT). The curriculum was integrated locally, but also introduced in other centers: national and international. Local tutors teach the curriculum to trainees after standardized training on the modalities of PROSPECT by the researchers of the Ghent.
A registry is maintained and coordinated by the Ghent research group in which all educational data regarding this training is collected and processed anonymously.
