Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Time (minutes) to reach the predefined proficiency settings for the basic skills and the procedural module after 3-6 weeks without laparoscopic training.	6 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Time (minutes) to reach the predefined proficiency settings for the basic skills	6 weeks	To examine any difference in training time for the two groups over-all
Time (minutes) to reach proficiency setting for the procedural module (salpingectomy due to an ectopic bleeding)	6 weeks	To examine if there is any difference in training time (minutes) for the two-groups when practicing on the procedural module (salpingectomy due to an ectopic bleeding)
