ESVS AND COPENHAGEN CERTIFICATION PROGRAM (ENHANCE) ​OPEN REPAIR OF ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSMS

​ESVS AND COPENHAGEN CERTIFICATION PROGRAMME (ENHANCE ) is arranged as a collaboration between the ESVS Academy, the Department of Vascular Surgery at the University Hospital of Copenhagen (Rigshospitalet) and the Copenhagen Academy of Medical Education and Simulation (CAMES). 

Today, the ENHANCE program consists of two courses that can be taken independently. ENHANCE OPEN focus on open repair of infrarenal aortic aneurysms, and ENHANCE-EVAR focus on basic endovascular aortic repair (EVAR).​

A collaboration between: ESVS Academy
Department of Vascular Surgery and Heartcenter, Copenhagen, Denmark
Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation (CAMES), Denmark

To sign up for the course please send af mail to course leader Kim Kargaard Bredahl, kim.kargaard.bredahl@regionh.dk

​Learning ob​jective

ENHANCE OPEN is an ambitious simulation-based educational programme aiming to prepare vascular surgical trainees to perform supervised elective open repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. If you pass the program, you will master all the necessary steps of the procedure and be ready to continue training in the OR on patients under supervision.​

Participants

The target group is vascular surgical traniees with limited experience in open AAA repair. Experience with essential peripheral open surgical techniques (instruments, anastomotic techniques etc.) is required, as well as basic knowledge of abdominal aortic anatomy. Participants will be trained in teams of two based on prior experience. Participants will be selected based on electronic surveys and personal online interviews with the course convenor.​

Certificat​​ion

Participants' technical and non-technical skills are assessed continuously with summative and formative feedback to cater to multiple learning styles. Passing course participants will be certified according to Copenhagen standards, and participants that did not achieve the required competence level will receive a proof of participation. Certification is based on a validated assessment and pass-fail limit using the OPERATE tool.​

Program​me description

ENHANCE OPEN is a 3-day simulation-based training programme. Each course pariticipant will perform 6-8 cases as surgeon, and 6-8 as assistant under the supervision of highly experienced open aortic surgeons. Course participant will receive supervision, feedback and tips&tricks. Feedback will be summative in test-cases and formative in supervision-cases. The trainee-tutor rate will be 2:1. During the course, participants will train on state-of-the-art life-like pulsatile aortic 
simulation models and aortic inlays (Vascular International). use original vascular instruments, grafts and sutures in a simulated OR environment.
Course design, duration and assessment have been tested and validated. We aim to improve our course through ongoing research, evaluation and feedback, why monitoring with sports watches, video recording and continuous data collection will be part of this course. Data collection will be strictly confidential and comply with current GDPR and Danish legislation. In order to get full benefit from the course, we recommend that the course participant is prioritised for supervising AAA operations afterwards.
ENHANCE Open AAA Repair is a part of the ESVS Aortic pathway, and the course can be used in preparation for the FEBVS exam.
