Summary

Learning is a complex process and influenced by a number of factors including the innate ability of the trainee, previous experiences (e.g. video game skills, music instrument skills), learning style and the overall learning environment. Understanding of the learning process and factors influencing the learning shall help develop and plan an effective curriculum for the trainees.

The investigators plan to use medical students as a part of the study since they have little or no prior knowledge or experience of laparoscopic skills. If any factors are identified, the investigators can help guide the participants for future training as well as develop a comprehensive curriculum for the current surgical trainees.

The primary objective of the study is to determine if acquisition and retention of laparoscopic skills in medical students is superior with multiple training sessions as compared to a single training session of the similar duration.
