Key result
Modular training on lifelike pulsatile models shortens the learning curve for vascular surgeons.
Why the study?
The shift from patient-based to model-based training in vascular surgery is necessary to increase patient safety and adapt to reduced hospital training times and higher quality demands.
Does modular training on lifelike models improve learning success and motor skills in vascular and endovascular surgery?

The partial shift from patient to model is a reasonable and necessary paradigm shift in surgery in order to increase patient safety and to adapt to the reduced training time periods in hospitals and increased quality demands. Since 1991 the Vascular International Foundation and School has carried out many training courses with more than 2,500 participants. The modular build training system allows to teach many open vascular and endovascular surgical techniques on lifelike models with a pulsatile circulation. The simulation courses cannot replace training in operating rooms but are suitable for supporting the cognitive and associative stages for achieving motor skills. Scientific evaluation of the courses has continually shown that the training principle established since 1991 can lead to significant learning success. They are extremely useful not only for beginners but also for experienced vascular surgeons. They can help to shorten the learning curve, to learn new techniques or to refine previously used techniques in all stages of professional development.

Klemm et al. (2014) conducted a review in Vascular and endovascular surgery training (n=2,500). Modular training system on lifelike models was evaluated on Learning success and motor skills achievement. Modular training on lifelike models with pulsatile circulation leads to significant learning success and helps shorten the learning curve for vascular surgeons.
