Foundations of Robotic Surgery

Summary

RCSI in partnership with International Medical Robotics Academy (IMRA) are delighted to announce a unique online robotics course, developed by surgeons for surgeons, the ‘Foundations of Robotic Course’. The course has a linear robotic surgical training curriculum using online education, virtual reality, 3D video, simulators and advanced synthetic organ models.

There has been an exponential growth globally in procedures performed using robots over the last decade. While we can conduct our training in-person at National Surgical and Clinical Skills Center, RCSI, during designated training days on a single console, this online course has been designed to be accessible to all interested doctors. This cross discipline will teach trainees all the basics they need for robotic surgery within their chosen specialty. It provides the foundational theory and principles required to safely perform robotic surgical procedures.

This course is designed for any healthcare professional wanting to develop their knowledge and understanding of surgical robotics, including surgeons, trainees, medical students, nurses and technicians. Doctors will be equipped with the theoretical knowledge and practical working understanding of how-to setup a robot and console, the fundamentals of operating the robot, how to achieve robotic surgical competence and much more.

Our flexible online course covers material fundamental to understanding the current state of surgical robotics in the market and the skills necessary to safely and effectively utilise this technology in participants' everyday surgical practice.
