A Delphi-based needs assessment to identify and prioritise procedural skills through consensus for simulation-based learning in neurosurgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Training of the neurosurgeon today differs greatly from that of the past, with several well-documented challenges contributing to reduced operative time for current cohorts. The Joint Committee on Surgical Training (JCST) in the UK and Ireland have stated that simulation-based education (SBE) is part of the solution to tackle this training crisis. Our objective was to develop a prioritised list of technical skills through consensus with key opinion leaders (KOLs). This approach aimed to enhance understanding of the essential procedures that should shape a technical skills framework for neurosurgical simulation-based learning curricula.

Methods

We utilised a modified Delphi process and Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation (CAMES) Needs Assessment
