Virtual fundamentals of laparoscopic surgery (FLS) boot-camp using telesimulation: an educational solution during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Background: The Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS) is an internationally recognized educational and certification program designed to teach the knowledge and skills required for basic laparoscopic surgery. Previously, our institution has organized an FLS boot-camp to teach PGY1 residents the FLS manual skills. During the COVID-19 pandemic, in-person sessions were not possible.
