Behavioral: training on virtual reality laparoscopic simulator
The aim of this project is to determine whether a structured approach to teaching laparoscopic skills to beginning surgeons with a virtual reality trainer will improve skills prior to actual operative experience. We aim to show that with the virtual reality trainer, operative skills will be improved and that overall operative time will be decreased.
