Background: The growth of "bootcamp style" simulation training in surgical practice has been exponential over the last decade. Developing and delivering a surgical bootcamp requires a significant investment. This systematic review aims to identify the key components that allow for a successful and rewarding surgical bootcamp course to be implemented that can be applied to all surgical specialities.
Methods: To understand the surgical bootcamp principles and delivery mechanisms, we searched peer-reviewed, English language studies published between 2000 and 21.
Results: From 137 articles, 14 studies with a Medical Education Research Quality Instrument Score of >11.5 were included. Most studies followed the core components; delivery at transition (12), mapping syllabus (13), multimodality delivery (14), and deliberate practice with formative feedback (12) apart from 1:1 training by only 2 studies.
Conclusions: Our review suggests that Surgical bootcamp can be an extremely useful education tool for trainees if 5 pillars of a boot camp are respected.

Objective: Orthopedic residents are tasked with rapidly acquiring clinical and surgical skills, especially during their PGY-1 year. However, resource constraints and other factors frequently cause skills training to fall short of established guidelines. We aimed to design and evaluate a cross-institutional, month-long curriculum aimed at pooling resources to optimize training.

Introduction: Since the early 2000's, the appeal of certain operating room specialties has decreasedamong medical school graduate students. The recent reform of the second and third cycles of medical studies in France provides an opportunity to set up teaching programs around operating room specialties. We have organised a teaching unit which is part of the final year of medical studies.

Background: Surgical bootcamps provide hands-on learning opportunities for junior doctors and trainees in low-pressure, non-clinical environments. Participants develop skills, knowledge, and confidence in preparation for their registrar years. A number of international urology-specific bootcamps have demonstrated improvements in these technical and non-technical domains.

December 2024
Department of Surgery, Queen's University, Kingston Ontario, Canada.
Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, opportunities for hands-on surgical and procedural skills training and practice were significantly reduced, as many curricular activities were deferred or converted to a virtual format. This study focused on whether these changes contributed to increased anxiety and decreased confidence for medical students performing these skills.
Methods: The Surgical Skills Technology Elective Program (SSTEP) is an annual five-day intensive procedural skills program after second-year medical school.

Neurosurgeons require post-graduate training to deliver safe, effective, and evidence-based care; to continually improve and adapt their methods through assessing the effect of their care and patient outcomes; and to train the future neurosurgeons of tomorrow to surpass current standards of care. We describe methods used by global collaborations to address these training needs on a worldwide scale, their risks, and their perceived benefits.
