On the Road Again: Surgical Simulation is Rural Practice D.R.Antonenko, MD.PhD. Professor of Surgery Director of Surgical Simulation Center University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences
Simulation in Rural Surgery Objectives • Describe the educational background for simulation training in surgery • To describe the possible role of simulation in rural/community surgical practice using a mobile simulation center • To discuss how on site simulation training might help attract and retain surgeons in rural practice
Physician Learning Patient focused learning Resource accessibility Clinical applicability Familiarity with the resource Return on investment in time
Physicians and Learning Relevance to clinical practice needs Scheduling conflict Cost of attendance
Simulator Skills Training Curriculum Sound educational principles Goal oriented Sensitive/objective performance metrics Appropriate instruction/feedback
Simulator Skills Training Curriculum Deliberate/distributed/variable practice Allow overtraining Provide maintenance training Must have cognitive component
Simulator Skills Training Curriculum Deliberate/distributed/variable practice Allow overtraining Provide maintenance training Must have cognitive component PROFICIENCY BASED
Simulation = Deliberate Practice Move learning curve out of the OR BUT performance still required Reduce stress of learning Focus is on learner, not the patient Feedback improved
Simulators Procedural (task) trainers Computer screen (micro-simulators) VR trainers Patient trainers

`ACS/APDS Core Skills Curriculum Phase III: Team Based Training
Rationale For Simulator Training in Rural Surgery Fiscal Restraints Changing technology Ethical Concerns Patient Safety
Advantages of Simulation in Rural Surgery Maintain skills Enhance skills Increase practice opportunities Increase income Reduce malpractice premiums (?)
Simulation for Rural Surgery Surgeon specific Site specific High fidelity Timely Cost effective Distributed vs. massed practice
Simulations for Rural Surgery Minimally invasive Ultrasound ATLS procedures(?) Airway management Procedure specific Endoscopy upgrades
The Future of Simulation for Rural Surgery Tele-simulation Tele-proctoring Tele-mentoring 3 dimensional reconstruction COST
