FACE, CONTENT AND CONSTRUCT VALIDITY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON VIRTUAL REALITY TRANSURETHRAL PROSTATE RESECTION TRAINER

Abstract

We established the face, content and construct validity for version 1.0 of the University of Washington TURP trainer to simulate the skills necessary to perform TURP. A predictive validity study showing a translation of skills from the virtual environment to the operating room will complete the validation of this model.
