There was no change in depth adequacy (70.3% vs 67.7%, p =.99). Median trainee procedure time reduced from 18 minutes (interquartile range = 11-24) before training to 8 minutes after training (interquartile range = 6-11) (p = <0.001). There was no significant change in operating time or specimen quality from LEEP procedures performed by attendings (who did not use the simulator). Trainee and attending procedural outcomes were similar after training. Trainees had mostly positive views on the training, though reported time constraints as a barrier to simulation. Conclusions: After the introduction of an LEEP simulation training program, operative time and specimen quality from trainee procedures seemed to improve.]]> Fri 03 Feb 2023 14:28:58 AEDT ]]>
