Abstract
Robotic surgery has expanded internationally at pace. There are multiple local robotic training pathways but there is inconsistency in standardisation of core common components for curricula internationally. A framework is required to define key objectives that can be implemented across robotic training ecosystems. This Delphi consensus aimed to provide recommendations for core considerations in robotic training design across diverse training environments internationally. A literature search was performed and an international steering committee (AG, KL, JW, HM, TC) proposed key components for contemporary robotic training design and a modified Delphi approach was used to gather stakeholder opinion. The outcomes were then discussed at a face-to-face international expert consensus at the IMRA educational session at the Society of Robotic Surgery (SRS) meeting and final voting was conducted on outstanding items. Stakeholders included robotic surgeons, proctors, trainees and robotic surgical training providers. There was consensus achieved in 139 statements organised into 15 themes. There was 100% agreement that standardised themes in robotic curricula may improve patient safety. Key take-home messages include—training curricula should be multiplatform, non-technical skills are an important component of a robotic curriculum as well as console and bedside skills, clinically relevant performance metrics should be used for assessment where available, the reliance on cadaveric and live animal models should be reduced as high-fidelity synthetic models emerge, and stepwise component training is useful for advanced procedural training. These consensus recommendations are intended to guide design of fit for purpose contemporary robotic surgical curricula. Integration of these components into robotic training pathways internationally is recommended.
