2018 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting-769. The Development of a Technical Skills Test for Objective Assessment in Neuroendoscopic Education

769. The Development of a Technical Skills Test for Objective Assessment in Neuroendoscopic Education

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Rezato Eden Nevzadi discusses the development of a technical skills test to improve assessment and evaluation in neuroendoscopic education. Neuroendoscopy is gaining popularity in neurosurgery for various procedures. However, there is a need for improved training in this specific surgical procedure due to its unique challenges. The speaker highlights the importance of simulators in surgical training and introduces a simulator model they developed for neuroendoscopic performance assessment. Three tests were designed, and the results showed significant improvement and differences between junior and senior surgeons. The simulator proved to be valid and accurate in measuring skill levels and improvement over time. The speaker concludes that such simulators could be valuable in neurosurgical education and are affordable.
