Evaluation of Simulator Training on TEE Performance in Residents

The theoretical test is a multiple choice test which consists of 50 questions with 1 point per question (max. 50 points). It will be done before the teaching, after the 2 teaching sessions and 3 Months after the study

The practical test is an evaluation of 11 basic perioperative TEE examination on the simulator (CAE Vimedix Simulator). Each view is evaluated on a scale of 0 to 10 according to predetermined criteria including image angle, overall clarity and visualization of 3 major anatomic structures pertinent to each view. Each view can receive a maximum score of 10 and each study a maximum of 109 (ME asc. aortic LAX has only 2 main structures). It will be done after the first and second teaching session, and 3 Months after the study.
