Arm Description
Trainees will undergo whole task mastery training in the TEP simulator after completing the video curriculum portion.
Trainees will undergo a random part task mastery training in the TEP simulator after completing the video portion of the curriculum.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Operative Time
Operative Time will be measured with a chronometer. Staff take overs and down time will be excluded from the trainee's time. Trainee time will be defined as when he/she has the instruments in his/her hands and is actively doing the case.
