Abstract

BACKGROUND: The expansion of robotic surgery requires identifying factors of competent robotic bedside assisting. Surgical trainees desire more robotic console time, and we hypothesized that protocolized robotic surgery bedside training could equip Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) to meet this growing need. No standardized precedent exists for training APPs.
