Part vs Whole Task Mastery Training for Laparoscopic Hernia Repair

Part vs Whole Task Mastery Simulation Training for Laparoscopic Hernia Repair: A Randomized Trial

The investigators will perform a randomized controlled trial with a stratified-block design to compare the effect of the part versus whole task simulation training for TEP repairs.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Study Participants: Only residents who have achieved mastery of the TEP training curriculum (in either arm) will be eligible for OR assessment
• Patients: All patients deemed fit by the staff supervising surgeon to undergo a TEP repair will be considered for this study.
