Story

The Dutch Basiscursus Laparoscopie (Basic Laparoscopy Course) for medical specialists in training and scrub nurses, teaches basic laparoscopy skills and fundamental knowledge.

MLX developed an interactive eBook for self-study that prepares readers for face-to-face lessons before entering the operating theatre. The eBook focusses on the essential clinical aspects and the use of the laparoscopic training box.

Interactive anatomy within the eBook helps the trainee to learn more efficiently, and links are provided for further learning in supportive apps.
