Does proficiency-based progression (PBP) training improve surgeon skill compared to the apprenticeship model in surgical trainees?
Does proficiency-based progression (PBP) training improve surgeon skill compared to the apprenticeship model in surgical trainees?
Proficiency-based progression training is highlighted as a superior method to the traditional apprenticeship model for improving surgical skills.
While the apprenticeship model for surgical training is a long-standing gold standard worldwide, proficiency-based progression (PBP) training proves significantly superior. The combination of a metrics tool describing procedural steps and errors with a simulator model or cadaveric training, results in a measurement tool that not only judges but serves to improve surgeon skill.
