Brief Summary: To determine if practicing an aorto-saphenous vein anastomosis on a low-fidelity surgical simulator allows trainees to produce a higher quality anastomosis in a shorter period of time than a group that only learns by watching a video
Detailed Description: For many years surgical training has been considered an apprenticeship where the training experiences of residents have been in real operative settings on living patients We propose a study to demonstrate that - a low-fidelity simulation of an aorta-proximal vein graft anastomosis as in heart bypass surgery using anatomical replicates a special hydrogel polymer with properties similar to human vascular tissue - is an effective low-cost simulator for learning this surgical skill and will provide the trainee with the ability to perform a better anastomosis in a shorter period of time

Hypothesis Practicing an aorto-saphenous vein anastomosis on a low-fidelity surgical simulator will advance the trainees learning curve This will allow trainees to produce a higher quality anastomosis in a shorter period of time than a group that only learns by watching a video and will lead to enhanced patient safety
