Summary

In a prospective case-control study, 140 medical students (,novices') and 10 Senior gynecologists (,experts') will perform a Large Loop Excision of the Transformation Zone (LLETZ) on a Training model afte having undergone a Video Training session. Their LLETZ-Performance will be assessed using an Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) protocol designed for judging the surgical proficiency when performing a LLETZ. Using metrical and non-metrical data points, construct validity of the LLETZ training model to distinguish between experts and novices will be assessed. Secondary endpoints are differences in OSATS scores within the group of novices based on gender and handyness, as well as satisfaction of the novices with the learning experience.
