“VR simulator-trained students perform real surgery with more confidence, less operative time, and increased accuracy. The LapSim Certification Program is definitely a great resource for residency programs and the ability to collaboratively tailor the curriculum was an important aspect to my success. Also, Surgical Science’s collaborative support was especially valuable”.

Dr. Hulda Einarsdottir, MD, FACS, FASCRS Formerly Assistant Professor of Surgery, Yale University, School of Medicine

"In the last 25 years, I have organized about 50 courses in practical surgery for residents and specialists in Obstetrics and Gynecology. In the courses involving laparoscopy, LapSim has been used to a significant extent for training and evaluation. With the extensive scientific documentation available, and based on my many years of experience with LapSim, I want to emphatically state that simulated laparoscopic training with LapSim should be a cornerstone of surgeon training and absolutely contributes to patient safety".

Dr Thomas Bossmar, MD, PhD Consultant at the Women's Clinic and Practicum, SuS in Lund

Validation Studies

Training simulator efficacy in developing thoracic and general surgical skills in a residency programme: a pilot study Sara Grossi et al., Eur J Cardiothorac Surg .Feb 2024

Virtual simulator training programme performed at least twice a week was effective for implementing basic surgical skills required for the trainee's professional growth. Additional virtual training modules focused on more complex exercises are planned to confirm these preliminary results.
