Exploring the Intervals in Distributed Laparoscopic Skills Training

Summary

The objective of this trial is to investigate if short intervals (1-2 days) between training sessions are more efficient than practicing with longer intervals (6-8 days) between sessions during proficiency-based laparoscopic simulator training. Our hypothesis is that just 1-2 days of break between sessions is optimal for the acquisition of laparoscopic skills and that a shorter interval between sessions is optimal for training.

Interventions

OTHER

Short distributed training (1-2 days)

The intervention group will practice four basic skills and one procedural module on the Laparoscopic "Lapsim" Virtual Reality Simulator. They will practice with 1-2 days of break in between training sessions until proficiency level is achieved.
