NCT02475252

Brief Summary

In a prospective case-control study, the investigators compare the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) scores in medical students and gynecologic experts performing a hysteroscopy on a training model for diagnostic hysteroscopy. The investigators hypothesize that OSATS on a hysteroscopy training model has construct validity to discriminate between experts and novices.
