Prostatectomy Assessment and Competence Evaluation (PACE)
The PACE instrument is a procedure specific tool that measures robotic prostatectomy surgical skill. Robotic prostatectomists used this tool to evaluate the videos submitted by MUSIC urologists. More information related to PACE can be found in the following publication: PACE Development and Evaluation.
