Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: ? All participants must be capable of giving consent. ? Sufficient knowledge of English or German. ? Basic knowledge of surgical techniques: Participants should have basic knowledge and experience in the operating room in order to be able to adequately assess the performance of surgical tasks (assembly of medical instruments). ? Voluntary participation: Participation in the study is voluntary. It is possible to withdraw from the study at any time without negative consequences.
