Gain extensive hands-on procedural experience while performing robotic cardiac surgery procedures in a realistic simulation environment under the guidance of experienced expert surgeons. A state-of-the-art training facility with multiple operating bays fitted with surgical robots will afford a true hands-on experience for every attendee. The course is designed for either new teams desiring to start a robotic cardiac surgery program or early experienced robotic surgeons and teams, including bedside first assistants. Attendees will be exposed to both robotic mitral valve procedures and robotic coronary revascularization. The course consists of one day of hands-on simulation workshop and one day of didactic lectures, case videos, and faculty discussion.
