Training for
ROBOTIC SURGERY CERTIFICATION
A comprehensive immersion in robotic surgery, offering everything a surgeon needs to advance safely and precisely—all in one place.
Program options: Full certification or robotic orientation
INTRODUCTION
Robotic surgery has been transforming surgical practice across various specialties, requiring surgeons to possess not only technical knowledge but also operational proficiency with the platform and the ability to adapt to the robotic environment.
With this in mind, Scolla has developed a training program structured around two tracks, designed both for physicians who wish to begin their journey in robotic surgery and for those who are already certified and seek to expand their practical experience on a new platform.
The Comprehensive Training Program offers a progressive curriculum that integrates recorded online classes, simulator training, and hands-on in-service experience, providing students with exposure to the fundamentals, technology, and real-world dynamics of robotic surgery.
The Robotic Familiarization program, on the other hand, was created for already certified surgeons who need to become familiar with the robotic platform they use, developing operational confidence, technical adaptability, and fluency in the surgical environment through supervised hands-on training.
With a methodology focused on hands-on practice, technology, and an immersive experience, Scolla provides a learning environment aligned with the realities of modern robotic surgery, bridging training, innovation, and clinical application.
The complete course is divided into 3 modules:
Lectures
distance learning platform
