Background
We present our experience about a training model in gynecologic laparoscopic surgery and the determination of face validity by the attendants. It has been used in our center during more than 20 years and arose from the collaboration and effort of many professionals in the field of health

Material and Methods
Data included in the study have been obtained in 13 workshops held between 2010 and 2013 with a total of 213 attendants. The courses have a total duration of 21 hours. They begin with a theoretical session about basic knowledge of laparoscopic surgery, ergonomy and instruments. After that, the attendants carry out hands-on physical simulator to develop laparoscopic dexterity. On the second and third days, it consists of hands-on animal model where they can perform different techniques

Result
93.3% of the attendants consider correct the distribution theory-practice. 75.55% were in accordance with the total duration of the course, 24.45% considered that it should be of longer duration. All techniques carried out throughout the course obtained a score higher than 9 points over 10, being the dissection of vascular structures the best valued (9.54 points). Regarding skills self assessment, 82.82% of the participants considered that they had progressed much and 92.13% considered themselves capacitated to perform trained procedures on live patients

Conclusion
The training model has proved to be very well appreciated enabling students to gain knowledge and improve skills. Providing, in addition, confidence to the application of learned techniques to the clinical practice
