Virtual reality training for thyroid surgery
Part of Ear, nose & throat, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if training with virtual reality helps surgical residents learn thyroid surgery better. It compares VR training to standard methods for residents who have finished their first year of training.
