Brief Summary

Funding for resident training is continually decreasing. The investigators hope to look at innovative ways to improve resident education. The project will investigate whether skills acquired in a surgical lab result in improved operating room (OR) surgical skills. This will be a randomized controlled trial that will split residents up into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group will be required to pass training modules for six essential surgeries before operating in the OR. In the OR, both groups will be graded by the supervising doctor and be asked to rate themselves using validated questionnaires.
