Establishment of a milestone-driven training system for surgical competency of surgical residents and implementation of a homogenized training pathway
采用历史对照研究设计。浙江大学医学院附属第一医院外科专业基地自2023年起实施以里程碑为导向的手术能力培养体系。该体系以胜任力导向医学教育(competency-based medical education,CBME)和里程碑评价体系为理论基础,包含分阶段能力目标、系统化培养课程、多元化评估方法(形成性评价、阶段性评估与终结性评价相结合)和标准化培养教程4个核心要素。以2020至2022年传统模式培养的231名住院医师为对照组,以2023至2024年新模式培养的220名住院医师为观察组。采用结业考核通过率及成绩、技能竞赛得分、教学满意度等指标评价培养效果。组间比较采用
To establish and evaluate a milestone-driven training system for the surgical competency of surgical residents
and explore an effective pathway for achieving homogenized training outcomes.
Methods
2
A historical control study design was adopted. Since 2023
the surgical specialty base at The First Affiliated Hospital
Zhejiang Univer
sity School of Medicine
has implemented a milestone-driven surgical competency training system. This system is theoretically grounded on competency-based medical education and a milestone evaluation system and includes four core elements: phased competency objectives
and standardized training tutorials. The control group consisted of 231 residents trained under the traditional model from 2020 to 2022
while the observation group included 220 residents trained under the new model from 2023 to 2024. Training effectiveness was evaluated using graduation examination pass rates and scores
skills competition scores
and teaching satisfaction. Inter-group comparisons were performed using
t
-test and chi-square test.
Results
2
The first-attempt pass rate for the graduation theoretical examination was higher in the observation group than in the control group
but the difference was not significant [99.09% (218/220) vs. 96.54% (223/231)

. The mean score of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (435.32±13.01 vs. 430.73±13.92
t

P

trainees from our institution scored significantly higher than provincial averages in both open surgery skills (81.66±1.58 vs. 75.96±2.15

P

Conclusions
2
The milestone-driven surgical competency training system can effectively improve the quality of resident training and provides a practical and operational pathway for achieving homogenized training outcomes.
