Published Date: Dec 1, 2022

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Despite the importance of simulation-based training for robotic surgery, there is no consensus about its training curricula. Recently, a virtual reality (VR) platform (SimNow, Intuitive, Inc) was introduced with 33 VR drills but without evidence of their validity. As part of our creating a new robotic VR curriculum, we assessed the drills' validity through content mapping and the alignment between learning goals and drill content.
