PROficiency Based StePwise Endovascular Curricular Training: Multicentric Registry

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
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.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cognitive skills | Multiple Choice Question test (min: 0, max: 20, the higher the score, the better) | comparison before program start and after completion. This means through study completion. | 
| Technical skills | Rating scale assessment and simulator metrics | comparison before program start and after completion. This means through study completion. | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cognitive skills retention | Multiple Choice Question test (min: 0, max: 20, the higher the score, the better) | 3, 6 and 12 months after program completion | 
| Technical skills retention | Rating scale assessment and simulator metrics | 3, 6 and 12 months after program completion |
