Modular training in cardiothoracic residency—practical considerations to revive and streamline Indian training systems

Abstract

Background

Modular training in cardiothoracic training is a structured approach to residency by standardising all the facets of resident training viz. knowledge, professionalism, communication and clinical skills, research and operative exposure needed for achieving a certain level of professional competence at the end of training.

Methods

Literature search was done using PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar in view of writing a narrative review.

Results

The standardised approach can streamline the various national training programmes and promote effective mentorship. Imparting surgical skills to ensure technical proficiency in a structured manner assumes a central role in modular training which is a major departure from the current residency practises in our country.

Conclusion

Modular training model can improve the resident enrolment and quality of training in the long run.
