“…Dr. Carneiro and colleagues from Brazil and USA performed in page 952 (7) an interesting study about the role of remote proctoring during the initial training phases of a robotics curriculum using surgical robot skills simulator exercises and concluded that robotic performance increased significantly over three attempts for simulation exercises of low, medium, but not high-complexity. Proctoring, either in-person or remotely, has a positive impact on approval performance, particularly in intermediate tasks.…”
