Introduction <p>The global incidence of lung cancer is increasing, leading to a rise in the use of Robotic-assisted Thoracic Surgery (RATS) and a demand for more surgeons trained in robotic surgery. With the expanding number of robotic platforms, there is a need to train for a multiplatform environment. Therefore, a literature review was conducted using the PRISMA Scoping Review methodology to examine existing RATS curricula worldwide and identify the learning needs within these programs.</p> Methods <p>This work involves an exploration of the educational experiences of 73 existing thoracic surgical units, revealing common themes such as sequential training and progression through theoretical, simulation-based, and supervised/independent hands-on phases.</p> Results <p>The most frequently identified gaps include logistical barriers in the simulation phase and insufficient supervised or independent console time for trainees during the hands-on phase of their training.</p> Conclusion <p>This review has provided insight into the development of the RATS curriculum at the International Medical Robotics Academy, addressing these needs.</p>
