Methodology

The training is both theoretical and practical, designed to provide an understanding of the operation and components of the technological platform to be used in surgery.

Simulation Center: Training focused on routine procedures and problem-solving in the operating room.

Motor Skills: Complementary preclinical training that will involve the development of skills based on simulations of the techniques that are the focus of the training.

Supervised Experience: Observing cases to give students hands-on experience as assistants, as well as performing procedures under supervision.

Mentorship: All steps will be supervised by a mentor surgeon with extensive practical experience and proven expertise in the field.

Hybrid Format: Online theory classes taught by leading experts in the field, live surgery demonstrations, and discussion of clinical cases.

Advanced Practice: Hands-on training using animal models and inanimate models.
