Abstract

Background

Against a background of significant changes in UK medical education at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd) established the Wade Programme in Surgical Anatomy in 2012, as a means of supporting the study of surgical anatomy throughout training. This article provides a 10-year review of the Wade Programme and its educational foundation.

Methods

A novel methodology, the ‘Wade Educational Approach’, was used in the design and development of a portfolio of professional courses at three training levels: Level 1 - RCSEd Affiliate, Level 2 - Early Years (MRCS) and Level 3 - Later Years (FRCS and CPD). The Wade Approach is founded on the principles of visualization (‘visualize’), conceptual understanding (‘conceptualize’) and the active application of anatomical knowledge to all aspects of surgical practice (‘apply’).

Results

From 2012 to 2022, 105 courses were delivered to 1191 delegates across the globe, with a feedback form response rate of 95%. Feedback was uniformly excellent across the complete course portfolio, with the Wade Approach cited as a novel strategy for principle-based learning and teaching. The two-fold development of a novel educational approach and modular course design proved adaptable across a wide range of different courses, levels and specialties.

Conclusion

The Wade Programme was established to support the study of surgical anatomy throughout training, from undergraduate study to consultant practice. The Wade Approach should also be of help to all who are engaged in anatomy education and the training of the next generation of clinicians.

韦德外科解剖学课程：教学方法和 10 年回顾

背景在英国本科和研究生医学教育发生重大变化的背景下，爱丁堡皇家外科学院（RCSEd）于2012年设立了外科解剖学韦德计划，作为支持在整个培训过程中学习外科解剖学的一种手段。本文对韦德计划及其教育基础进行了 10 年回顾。方法在设计和开发三个培训级别的专业课程组合时采用了一种新颖的方法，即 "韦德教育方法"：一级--RCSEd 附属机构、二级--早期（MRCS）和三级--后期（FRCS 和 CPD）。韦德方法 "建立在可视化（"visualize"）、概念理解（"conceptualize"）和将解剖学知识积极应用于外科实践各个方面（"apply"）的原则基础之上。整套课程的反馈都非常好，韦德方法被认为是基于原理的学习和教学的新策略。事实证明，新颖的教育方法和模块化课程设计的双重发展适用于各种不同的课程、级别和专业。韦德方法对所有从事解剖学教育和下一代临床医师培训的人员也应有所帮助。

期刊介绍： Current Problems in Surgery keeps readers up-to-date on the latest surgical advances. Each month, this publication examines a single clinical problem or condition commonly seen by general surgeons. Issues also focus on topics in surgical research and emerging ideas in surgical subspecialties. Current Problems in Surgery is ideal for information too urgent to await book publication, yet too important to be summarized in a brief journal article.
