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? A standardised RAS curriculum is feasible and beneficial, and surgical societies have outlined RAS curricula which could be implemented locally. → Kieslich Anna K. 2026

Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- All studies of comprehensive RAS curricula found a benefit from curriculum implementation, but the methodological quality of evidence was low. — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Not all current comprehensive RAS curricula are grounded in the relevant educational frameworks. — related
- The nature and volume of simulation training and mentorship varied widely across the 29 comprehensive RAS curricula. — related
- Surgical societies outlined RAS curricula featuring proficiency-based progression, modular intraoperative training, and objective assessment. — a narrower finding that bears on this claim
- Objective assessment and non-technical skills training were not uniformly included across the 29 comprehensive RAS curricula. — related
- All 29 comprehensive RAS curricula included simulation training, with VR simulation (n = 16), dry lab (n = 11), and wet lab/bio-tissue/cadaveric (n = 12) as the most common modalities. — related
- Kirkpatrick's four levels of evidence can be applied to RAS training, with level 2 equating to RAS skills assessed with validated scoring systems during simulation. — related
