Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does assessment of procedural skills using virtual simulation remain a challenge?
Answer: Only the full procedure of the LAP Mentor procedural simulator has enough discriminative power to claim construct validity. However, the lack of quality control, which is indispensible in the evaluation of procedural skills, makes it currently unsuited for the assessment of procedural laparoscopic skills. The role of the simulator in a training context remains to be elucidated.
Output (English): yes
