Summary

This study aims to test the validity of a new educational tool in the form of a computer based video surgical simulator, that may be used to enhance the current teaching method of how to perform a hysterectomy.

Conditions

  • Evaluation of Laparoscopic Hysterectomy Simulator

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Laparoscopic Hysterectomy trainer

In order to increase comfort level amongst Gynecologists, we aim to identify verbal and non-verbal components of teaching TLH through interview and video recordings. Utilizing qualitative analysis of common themes, we will develop an educational video and web-based e-module to be used by Gynecology residents and surgeons. We will also use a combination of quantitative pre- and post-tests and qualitative surveys to assess the effectiveness of such a training tool. Ultimately, the project aims to create a robust tool that can be implemented in Gynecology residencies.
