Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Simulation
  • Urology Training

Background:

  • Assessing the validity of a novel vasectomy simulation module.
  • Evaluating its effectiveness in training urology residents.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the face, content, and construct validity of a new vasectomy simulation module.
  • To quantify the impact of the simulation on resident confidence and skill acquisition.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized pre- and post-simulation surveys to assess validity and confidence.
  • Employed a 20-objective checklist and blinded physician grading for construct validity.
  • Subdivided residents by training year to analyze performance differences.

Main Results:

  • 100% response rate from participants (2 medical students, 8 residents).
  • Simulation significantly increased confidence in performing vasectomy independently (p=0.02).
  • Training year positively correlated with completed objectives (p<0.01).

Conclusions:

  • The enhanced vasectomy simulation module exhibits excellent face, content, and construct validity.
  • It serves as an effective tool for improving resident confidence and surgical competency in vasectomy procedures.
