The goal of this clinical trial is to learn whether an AI-enhanced, game-based laparoscopic simulation tool can improve laparoscopic skills training and help increase surgical capacity in surgical trainees and other healthcare professionals learning laparoscopic surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does an AI-enhanced game-based simulator lead to faster and/or higher quality acquisition of laparoscopic technical skills than a standard box trainer? * Is AI-enhanced game-based simulation a feasible and scalable model for laparoscopic skills training across diverse healthcare settings? * Researchers will compare training with the Laptitude AI-enhanced game-based simulator to training with a standard laparoscopic box trainer to see if the AI-enhanced approach results in better performance on validated laparoscopic skills assessments and more efficient training. Participants will: * Be randomly assigned to train using either the Laptitude AI-enhanced game-based simulator or a standard box trainer. * Complete a structured programme of laparoscopic training tasks. * Undergo standardized assessments of laparoscopic skills performance during and/or after the training period.
