An interventional study of Haptic in Medical Education, sponsored by Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation. Completed at 2 sites in Denmark. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-01-13.
Sponsored by Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation · Not applicable, Interventional, and Other
The study investigates the impact haptic devices have on reaching proficiency on a laparoscopic simulator as well as investigation if there is a difference in retention of the acquired skills.
Copenhagen Academy for Medical Education and Simulation is the lead sponsor of 27 studies on the registry; 6 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Exclusion Criteria:
In the intervention group trainees will train in an already validated laparoscopic training program with haptic devices.
Other: Haptic
In the control group trainees will complete the same validated training program in the conventional non-haptic setting.
Trainees are randomized in this group to use the haptic device.
Time (minutes) to reach the predefined proficiency level for the basic skills and salpingectomy procedure
Measured in minutes
Time frame: From randomization till participants have passed all modules on the simulator (approx 3-4 weeks)
Time (minutes) to reach the predefined proficiency level for the basic skills and salpingectomy procedure after 3-6 weeks without laparoscopic training on the non-haptic devices (retention test).
Measured in minutes
Time frame: From randomization till participants passes all modules on the virtual reality simulator in the trial (approx. 3-4 weeks)
Exploratory outcome: To observe and register mechanical/technical malfunctions during the intervention and retention.
All mechanical malfunction will be registered and classified afterwards
Time frame: During trial, up to 1 year
