Research Studies: Enhancing Robotic Head and Neck Surgical Skill Using Stimulated Simulation

We are asking people who are medical students who completed their core clinical rotations or a medical school graduate and have not completed their PGY2 year of residency to be a part of this research study. This study is taking place at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

The main purpose of this study is to help develop an effective and efficient surgical skill training program for transoral robotic surgery (TORS). We are developing a simulation training program that is paired with noninvasive brain stimulation, specifically, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).

The study will last approximately 7-8 and requires 12 visits at BIDMC. You will be paid up to $450 for participating and will be reimbursed for travel expenses up to $20 per visit.
