Methodology

The training is theoretical and practical in order to get to know the workings and components of the technological platform to be used in surgery.

All face-to-face training will involve the use of:

Simulation center and in the operating room, focusing on normal operation and problem solving.
Complementary pre-clinical training that will involve the development of motor skills based on simulation of the surgical techniques that are the focus of the training.
Surgical techniques will also be combined with the observation of surgical cases, giving the student experience as an assistant in procedures, as well as carrying out procedures in training and under supervision.
All these steps will be overseen by a preceptor surgeon with extensive practical experience and consolidated knowledge in the technical area being trained.

Classes will take place as follows:

EAD lectures given by leading professionals in the field, presentation of live surgeries and discussion of clinical cases.
Practical training on living and inanimate models.
Observational internship, which provides experience with the real routine of the Minimally Invasive Surgery service.
