Background And Objectives: The general surgery residency at the University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria has a long tradition of integrating robotic surgery into training since 2002. The purpose of this paper is to investigate our curriculum and evaluation system, which was designed to achieve a standardized format for education in general robotic surgery.
Methods: The curriculum consists of two phases: phase 1 (PGY 1-2): Complete 4 robotic surgery training modules; read two assigned robotic surgery articles; and practice simulation modules on the robot.
