Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.

q3 · i? · review · r3
The systematic review's synthesis of curricula elements across all 29 included curricula reports that "All curricula included simulation" with VR simulation (n = 16), dry lab (n = 11), and wet lab/bio-tissue/cadaveric (n = 12) as the most common modalities.
"All curricula included simulation; virtual reality (VR) (n = 16), dry lab (n = 11), wet lab/bio-tissue/cadaveric (n = 12) with multiple curricula including more than one modality."

- Objective assessment and non-technical skills training were not uniformly included across the 29 comprehensive RAS curricula. — related
- Not all current comprehensive RAS curricula are grounded in the relevant educational frameworks. — related
- A standardised RAS curriculum is feasible and beneficial, and surgical societies have outlined RAS curricula which could be implemented locally. — related
- Surgical societies outlined RAS curricula featuring proficiency-based progression, modular intraoperative training, and objective assessment. — related
