| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Intervention Group | Experimental | In the intervention group trainees will train in an already validated laparoscopic training program with haptic devices. |
|
| Control | No Intervention | In the control group trainees will complete the same validated training program in the conventional non-haptic setting. |
| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Haptic | Other | Trainees are randomized in this group to use the haptic device. |
|
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Time (minutes) to reach the predefined proficiency level for the basic skills and salpingectomy procedure | Measured in minutes | From randomization till participants have passed all modules on the simulator (approx 3-4 weeks) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| 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 | From randomization till participants passes all modules on the virtual reality simulator in the trial (approx. 3-4 weeks) |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Exploratory outcome: To observe and register mechanical/technical malfunctions during the intervention and retention. | All mechanical malfunction will be registered and classified afterwards | During trial, up to 1 year |
