The purpose of this research study is to evaluate two surgical simulators as a way of assessing and improving surgical skills. The simulators are composed of materials founds at hardware stores such as PVC pipes, pipe insulation, foam bricks and wood blocks. Participants will be asked to perform different surgical skills such as suturing, drilling and/or arthroscopy using one or both of the simulators while being observed. Participation involves multiple 20-30 minute testing sessions to evaluate surgical skills over time.
The following individuals are invited to participate in this study:
• All UConn Medical Students
• All UConn Medical Residents
• All UConn Medical Fellows
• Attending Physicians that perform more than 5 orthopaedic surgery/arthroscopic operations per month
