Outcomes
Each year the number of surgeries completed robotically continues to rise, but the number of trained robotic surgeons remains small. This presents a unique opportunity for future leaders in the field.
There is a large learning curve associated with robotic surgery and skill acquisition, and an even larger gap in education. Obtaining robotic education and training is imperative to closing this gap. There is a multitude of health care organizations seeking qualified robotic surgeon experts. This program will provide the requirements for robotic privileging outlined by many societies, associations, and hospital organizations. This program also aids in robotic program development and coordination.
