PROficiency Based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training: Multicentric Registry (PROSPECT)

December 4, 2024 updated by: University Hospital, Ghent

Registry Endovascular Training Curriculum PROSPECT for Surgical Trainees (PROficiency-based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training Program)

The goal of this multicentric registry is to gather data from trainees completing PROSPECT: a PROficiency Based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training to obtain basic cognitive and technical skills. The main goals are to identify if:

  • Results from a previous randomised controlled trail can be reproduced in real life.
  • Evaluate skills retention after program completion.
  • Assess real life implementation of the training program.

Detailed Description

A validated PROSPECT (PROficiency-based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training) training has been integrated into the training of surgical residents to teach basic cognitive, technical and non-technical endovascular skills. The program uses virtual reality simulation and E-learning. During the four modules of the program, formative feedback is given after each training session. Only after achieving a predetermined benchmark score, trainees can progress to the next module.

Surgical trainees completing PROSPECT showed superior real live endovascular performance compared to the traditionally trained in a single centre randomised controlled trial (RCT). The curriculum was integrated locally, but also introduced in other centers: national and international. Local tutors teach the curriculum to trainees after standardized training on the modalities of PROSPECT by the researchers of the Ghent.

A registry is maintained and coordinated by the Ghent research group in which all educational data regarding this training is collected and processed anonymously.
