Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this study is to 1) identify motion capture variables that can be used to differentiate surgical experience level and 2) evaluate if these variables can be used in a surgical education setting to improve resident performance.

- Objective Feedback (Motion Capture)
- description
- Participants in the objective feedback group will receive a report that compares their performance in Set 1 to that of the staff surgeons' using the target interval as a reference. Participants receiving objective feedback will then complete Sets 2 and 3 knowing what factors to improve upon.
