Design of a Proficiency-Based Skills Training Curriculum for the Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (2007, methodology): “The proficiency level for each task was determined through objectively assessed performance of the subjects on each of the 5 FLS tasks using standard methods.(4-11) Both subjects were fellowship-trained advanced laparoscopic surgeons whose practices were composed primarily of minimally invasive surg”
Teaching Surgical Skills: What Kind of Practice Makes Perfect?: A Randomized, Controlled Trial (2006, background): “Recently, there has been an important focus on ensuring that skills taught in laboratory environments can translate to the real world of human operations.(11,12) Despite the important work on model development, simulators, and assessment methodologies, there is needed effort in the realm of curricul”
A Review on Virtual Reality Skill Training Applications (2021, methodology): “For example, Gallagher et al. (1999) and Grantcharov et al. (2004) used a VR setup out ﬁ tted with two laparoscopic instruments that the surgeon manipulated to simulate a surgical procedure.”
