Development of a virtual reality training curriculum for laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Training within a proficiency‐based virtual reality (VR) curriculum may reduce errors during real surgical procedures. This study used a scientific methodology for development of a VR training curriculum for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
