Study Arms (2)

First Group

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

the participants will start training on the pelvic trainer and assessment will be via assessment via a checklist. Then at a later time, they will be trained on VR simulator (Sim Surgery) and assessment will be via Electronic auto assessment via the Simulator.

Device: Virtual reality Simulator; Device: Pelvic trainer:

Interventions

Virtual reality Simulator DEVICE

LapSim is a device designed by Surgical Science Device \& software at Swedan

Also known as: LapSim

First Group; Second Group

Pelvic trainer: DEVICE

Video-box trainers include a box with a lid and holes cut on the lid for the trocar's insertion. A laparoscope inside the box is connected with a digital camera and provides video output to a monitor on which the trainees are watching their own movements, while performing the teaching task. Laparoscopic instruments, such as laparoscopic graspers and laparoscopic scissors are inserted through the trocars into the box, where the tasks are taught
