A novel tool for assessing psychomotor proficiency in laparoscopic cholecystectomy using simulation-based training
The CHOLE-VOP successfully discriminated between experience levels in a simulated laparoscopic cholecystectomy training module. LMIC users outperformed HIC users in select skill parameters. Self-assessments, particularly among novices, showed limited concordance with peer-assessments.
