Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the improvement in temporal bone dissection skills between residents trained using traditional cadaveric dissection alone and those trained with a combination of VR simulation and cadaveric dissection.Timepoint: Modified Welling Scores will be given immediately after students perform cadaveric temporal bone dissection—

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the time taken to achieve predefined surgical milestones in both groups.Timepoint: Time will be assessed during cadaveric temporal bone dissection;To assess the confidence & perceived competence of residents before & after training using modified Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) based confidence scale.Timepoint: Immediately before & immediately after cadaveric temporal bone dissection.;To evaluate the inter-rater reliability of objective skill assessments using validated scoring tools.Timepoint: Immediately after cadaveric temporal bone dissection—
