"Acceptability and preliminary face and content validity were demonstrated by the learners in this cohort. We also show evidence that the construct of experience correlated with key performance metrics. The data provide evidence that the dV-Trainer may be appropriate for integration into continuing medical education and residency robotic training curricula."

Proficiency Based Skills Assessment
The dV-Trainer™ includes extensive tools for managing your own training curriculum. With the latest version of MScore™, educators can build their own training protocols from more than 40 exercises and assign different curricula to each user. A new scoring system utilizes data collected from over 100 experienced surgeons and assessment is based on expert mean and standard deviation metrics similar to the FLS™ protocol.*
