Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Simulation based training is a standard part of surgical training. Over the years virtual reality simulator have been more and more integrated into the surgical curriculum for surgical novices.

Evidence shows that practicing using proficiency-based training programs significantly reduces the operation time and complication rates for during intial operations for young doctors.

The aim of this trial is to examine if skills obtained on a newer software version is transferable to the original software.

Study Groups

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

Intervention group

This group practiced the proficiency-based program on the LAPSIM(R) simulator using the new 2019-version of the software

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Training intervention

Intervention Type OTHER

The intervention consists of making the intervention group practice till proficiency using the 2019-version.

The control group practices till they have reached proficiency using the standard 2016-version.

We wanted to compare time to completetion for the intervention. For the follow-up test we invited all participants to return after 4-6 weeks (where no training was allowed) and made them practice till proficiency again using the standard 2016-version. Time to reach proficiency for the follow-up test was compared.

Control Group

This group practiced the proficiency-based program on the LAPSIM(R) simulator using the original (and evidence based) 2016-version of the software

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION
