Validation of Virtual Reality Simulation for Percutaneous Renal Access Training

Abstract

All aspects of validity were demonstrated on virtual reality-based simulator for percutaneous renal access.

Society of Neurological Surgeons boot camp courses: knowledge retention and relevance of hands-on learning after 6 months of postgraduate year 1 training

“…5,19 Although difficult in practice, the ultimate goal is to demonstrate a relationship between introductory simulated training and safe performance of procedures and operative skills in the live clinical environment. 8,9,14,17,18,20,21 The ACGME now recognizes that structured education equivalent to participation in the SNS PGY1 boot camp courses is a required activity before PGY1 residents can be indirectly supervised for procedures and patient management competencies. 1 Many residency training programs, including one directed by the senior author, use simulated experience at the boot camp courses as a prerequisite for further training, observation, and safety validation in the live clinical environment at the home program, before approving performance of these procedures with indirect supervision.…”

Development and Evaluation of a Novel Cadaveric Model for Performance of Image-Guided Percutaneous Renal Tumor Ablation

“…[3][4][5] At present, however, no models exist to teach PC tumor ablation. We propose a method to educate and train urologists to perform needle and treatment probe placement for PC ablation of the kidney using a cadaveric model.…”

The SimPORTAL Fluoro-Less C-Arm Trainer: An Innovative Device for Percutaneous Kidney Access

“…PERC Mentor system has been used as a comparative benchmark regarding price and reliability, being already studied for different validities with positive results. [10][11][12] During the course, different physical PERC trainers were available for the subjects to be used. In this limited cohort, the CAT was considered as ''better'' than any other physical PERC simulators available or previously used.…”
