All Haptica Training Simulators use a `Show, Practice, Measure' model. Physicians are guided through a procedure step-by-step, and at the end are given feedback on their performance. Feedback is based on validated measures of proficiency, including economy of movement, time taken, errors, etc.</div> <div> As a training simulator, <A HREF="promis.htm" TARGET="_top" TITLE="ProMIS surgical simulator">ProMIS</A>™ has won international recognition for its innovative approach: surgeons learn on a mix of virtual and physical models and get accurate metrics on their performance.
