Summary

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.

Training intervention

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.
