Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Whole Task

Trainees will undergo whole task mastery training in the TEP simulator after completing the video curriculum portion.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Online Video Curriculum

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

A video curriculum has been designed for the purpose of educating general surgery residents in laparoscopic hernia repairs. The curriculum covers topics from basic anatomy, selection of patients, management, and operative technique.

Whole Task Mastery Training

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Trainees will undergo whole task mastery training in the TEP simulator. The benchmarks for mastery training in the setting of whole task tep repairs was established with performance measures of multiple staff surgeons previously.

Part Task

Trainees will undergo a random part task mastery training in the TEP simulator after completing the video portion of the curriculum.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Online Video Curriculum

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL
