Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Medical Students enrolled at a Danish University

Exclusion criteria

  • Not being enrolled at a medical program at a Danish University, having participated in other virtual reality studies regarding laparoscopy, have had training or practice in laparoscopy on either pigs or in the clinic, have any medical conditions that may hinder a standard learning process when it comes to skills acquisition (eg. parkinson's disease, limited eye-sight etc).

Treatment and study plan

Random selection of excercises

Other

Participants in the intervention group will train using a random selection of excercises and complete the profiency-based traning program.

Primary outcomes

  1. Time (minutes) to reach the predefined proficiency settings for the basic skills and the procedural module after 3-6 weeks without laparoscopic training.

    Time frame: 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time (minutes) to reach the predefined proficiency settings for the basic skills

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    To examine any difference in training time for the two groups over-all

  2. Time (minutes) to reach proficiency setting for the procedural module (salpingectomy due to an ectopic bleeding)

    Time frame: 6 weeks

    To examine if there is any difference in training time (minutes) for the two-groups when practicing on the procedural module (salpingectomy due to an ectopic bleeding)
