A refined robotic surgical training curriculum enhances skill acquisition while significantly lowering training time.

• Mastery rates jumped from 83% to 100% with the new curriculum.
• Mean console training time decreased from 7 hours to 5 hours and 42 minutes (p=0.005).

This efficient approach offers general surgery residents a more effective pathway to proficiency.

• Median VR drill scores improved dramatically, with test scores up by over 400 points across both curricula.
