Randomised trial on the economic impact of proficiency‐based progression vs conventional robotic surgical training
We conclude that PBP training is significantly more effective and becomes increasingly cost-efficient as the number of trainees increases. These findings support its integration into high-volume national training programmes, offering a scalable and economically sustainable alternative to apprenticeship-based surgical education.
