Multi-institutional Validation of a Vaginal Hysterectomy Simulation Model for Resident Training.

Study Objective: The purpose of the research was to both develop a vaginal hysterectomy model with surgically pertinent anatomic landmarks and assess its validity for simulation training.

Design: A low-cost, reproducible vaginal hysterectomy model with relevant anatomic landmarks for key surgical steps.

Setting: Nine academic and community-based obstetrics and gynecology residency programs.
