Abstract
Simulation-based surgical training is beginning to be recognized by medical society with its apparent benefits. As an important function of virtual surgical training system, providing systemic and competitive surgical quality assessment to trainees is still a brand new field. In this paper, we present several metrics and their corresponding measurement methods used in our surgical training system designed for UK’s Royal Bournemouth Hospital to assess trainees’ task accomplishing quality. Classification algorithm and evaluation result of the training record is concisely discussed at the end of the paper.
