BackgroundThe objective of this study was to examine the acquisition of advanced laparoscopic technical and cognitive skills during a fellowship.MethodsDuring a yearlong fellowship, consecutive assessments were completed by a fellow and 1 attending for 3 advanced procedures. The Global Operative Assessment of Laparoscopic Skills, Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills, and procedure-specific rating tools and free-text feedback were used. Descriptive statistics, the t test, linear mixed-effects regression, and qualitative analysis of feedback were performed.ResultsSeventy-six cases were included. Average ratings increased for each assessment area every month (P < .001). There were significant differences between ratings by assessors with more stringent ratings by the fellow. While the attending focused on efficiency and safety, the fellow focused on technical issues, with later expanded attention to advanced cognitive aspects.ConclusionsThese assessment tools can be used as a quantitative index to monitor fellows' learning curve. In combination with narrative feedback, such data can provide measures to direct improvement during self-directed learning.
