Summary
The goal of this study is to investigate validity of the wet lab robotic cardiac surgery model used for training in robotic cardiac surgery and to evaluate learning curves in trainees of different surgical specialities. The investigators hope to recruit experienced robotic cardiac surgeons (experts) and cardiac and non-cardiac surgeons with minimal robotic experience (trainees). Participants will perform three predetermined tasks common in the wet lab robotic cardiac surgery training. Participants will be evaluated at baseline for each task. From experts' performance the mastery learning level will be calculated. Trainees will perform the tasks until mastery is achieved. The investigators will then be able to evaluate validity of the wet lab model and analyze learning curves in all participants by rating their performance.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
