The objective of this trial is to investigate if short intervals (1-2 days) between training sessions are more efficient than practicing with longer intervals (6-8 days) between sessions during proficiency-based laparoscopic simulator training. Our hypothesis is that just 1-2 days of break between sessions is optimal for the acquisition of laparoscopic skills and that a shorter interval between sessions is optimal for training.
