Appendectomy Simulation

How this looks like on the platform

Going through the simulation construction components of our platform

Paradigm Video

Learners will view the simulated surgery performed by an expert surgeon in the box trainer. This curated and annotated video demonstrates the paradigm.

Tips and Tricks Video

Learners will also watch a video highlighting tips and tricks to performing a laparoscopic appendectomy.

Learners will have our rubric (also known as "Verification of Proficiency") available to them. The Verification of Proficiency serves as a checklist of important elements for competent performance of the procedure as well as the checklist that will be used in the assessment process. You will learn about this in a future appropedia page.

Learners can watch the videos and practice as much as they desire.
