Primary |
Number of procedural Steps Completed in the final skills assessment (median per group) |
Procedural Steps Completed is an intraoperative performance metric objectively assessed/scored from each trainee's (anonymous) simulated implant video-recording acquired at the end of the training as a final skills assessment. The analysis will compare the medians of each group. |
1 hour post-intervention |
|
Primary |
Number of Errors in the final skills assessment (median per group) |
Procedural Errors is an intraoperative performance metric objectively assessed/scored from each trainee's (anonymous) simulated implant video-recording acquired at the end of the training as a final skills assessment. The analysis will compare the medians of each group. |
1 hour post-intervention |
|
Primary |
Number of Critical Errors in the final skills assessment (median per group) |
Procedural Critical Errors is an intraoperative performance metric objectively assessed/scored from each trainee's (anonymous) simulated implant video-recording acquired at the end of the training as a final skills assessment. The analysis will compare the medians of each group. |
1 hour post-intervention |
|
Primary |
Number of Errors All Combined (Errors + Critical Errors) in the final skills assessment (median per group) |
Procedural Errors All Combined, represents the total amount of deviations from optimal performance (Errors + Critical Errors) and it's an overall indicator of performance quality. The analysis will compare the medians of each group. |
1 hour post-intervention |
|
Secondary |
Procedure duration (min) in the final skills assessment (median per group) |
Four procedural measures will be derived from video-recordings of the implant performances on the virtual reality simulator: Procedure duration, Fluoroscopy duration, Cineradiography duration, amount of Contrast Media injected. The analysis will compare the medians of each group (each variable is compared independently). |
1 hour post-intervention |
|
Secondary |
Fluoroscopy duration (min) in the final skills assessment (median per group) |
Four procedural measures will be derived from video-recordings of the implant performances on the virtual reality simulator: Procedure duration, Fluoroscopy duration, Cineradiography duration, amount of Contrast Media injected. The analysis will compare the medians of each group (each variable is compared independently). |
1 hour post-intervention |
|
Secondary |
Cineradiography duration (s) in the final skills assessment (median per group) |
Four procedural measures will be derived from video-recordings of the implant performances on the virtual reality simulator: Procedure duration, Fluoroscopy duration, Cineradiography duration, amount of Contrast Media injected. The analysis will compare the medians of each group (each variable is compared independently). |
1 hour post-intervention |
|
Secondary |
Contrast Media injected (ml) in the final skills assessment (median per group) |
Four procedural measures will be derived from video-recordings of the implant performances on the virtual reality simulator: Procedure duration, Fluoroscopy duration, Cineradiography duration, amount of Contrast Media injected. The analysis will compare the medians of each group (each variable is compared independently). |
1 hour post-intervention |
|
Secondary |
Score obtained in the online knowledge test (percentage of correct answers per group, from 0 [minimum, worst outcome] to 100 [maximum, best outcome]) |
At the completion of the online component of the training curriculum, trainees are required to take a summative knowledge test online. The scale title will be "Percentage of correct answers in the online assessment". The outcome will span from 0 [minimum, worst outcome] to 100 [maximum, best outcome]. |
1 hour post-intervention |
|
Secondary |
Number of trainees per study group demonstrating the proficiency benchmark in the final assessment |
The number of trainees per study group demonstrating the proficiency benchmark in the video-recorded performance at the end of the training curriculum. |
1 hour post-intervention |
|
Secondary |
Participants' satisfaction level at the end of the training curriculum (mean score per group on a Likert scale, from 0 [minimum, worst outcome] to 10 [maximum, best outcome]) |
Participants' satisfaction level regarding the training received expressed on a Likert scale; feedback will be provided anonymously through the training evaluation forms filled at the end of the program. The scale title will be "Probability of recommending the curriculum to a peer". The outcome will span from 0 [minimum, worst outcome] to 10 [maximum, best outcome]. |
