Impact of High-Fidelity Transvaginal Ultrasound Simulation for Radiology on Residents' Performance and Satisfaction

“…Of the 14 studies in the review, only 5 included a control group, and only 2 of those were randomized. Since this publication, multiple controlled randomized trials have reported the potential benefits of ultrasound simulators . In addition, ultrasound simulators allow trainees to practice multiple times the same ultrasound modality without the need of supervisors or models.…”

“…This was a randomized, observer‐blinded, controlled parallel‐group study assessing the use of ultrasound simulators in medical education. Methodology will be reported based on the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials statement . The study was reviewed and approved by the McGill University Faculty of Medicine Ethics Review Board (Institutional Review Board Study Number: A11‐E72‐16A).…”

“…However, emergency physicians may only spend 4 weeks of their residency on Labor and Delivery, with vaginal delivery performance being the priority. Similarly, if only to competently supervise ultrasonographers, radiology residents benefit from ultrasound simulation [39]. ObGyn resident ultrasound efficacy following clinical training is less than after simulation-based transvaginal ultrasound training, p<0.001 [40].…”

In the United States, upon resident work hour restriction implementation, obstetrics and gynaecology residents' gynaecologic surgery volume decreased and operative time per caesarean delivery increased. High volume surgeons can have clinically significantly lower complication rates than low volume surgeons, p<0.001. Decreasing surgical volumes and increasing operative time raise the question of procedural patient safety in teaching institutions. Some institutions are turning to international rotations in resource-limited nations to increase residents' surgery volume, possibly doubling monthly surgical volume. As resource-limited nations need to train and increase their indigenous health care workforce, surgical skills simulation is ethically preferable to training high-resource nation residents in resourcelimited nations. A medical and surgical skills simulation center (SSSC) implementation is a workplace continuous quality improvement (CQI) project that can benefit multiple facility departments and community organizations. Stakeholder preparedness must be evaluated before embarking on a CQI project. Anonymous brainstorming contributes to CQI project selection. There is a preferred strategy for incorporating a SSSC into an obstetrics and gynecology department. Staff, space, systems, supplies, science, success, support, and sustainability will come into play at different stages of SSSC implementation. Once operational, the SSSC must undergo CQI to optimize effectiveness. Continuous quality improvement plan-do-study-act cycles are recommended at least as frequently as equipment upgrades.
