What researchers measure

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

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

    Time frame: 6 weeks

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

    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)

    Time frame: 6 weeks
