The Carousel simulator model is a reliable method for student learning. The simulator is an essential study tool capable of reducing the embarrassment and possible harm caused by the excessive and repetitive number of in vivo digital vaginal examinations. Novel studies are proposed to improve the simulator device and method, mainly to estimate the adequate repetitions and training needed before in vivo practice.
