DISCLAIMER: IMRA courses are designed to provide a broad understanding of robotic procedures and may include hands-on training to practice these procedures in a controlled setting. However, participation in these courses does not qualify or certify attendees to perform any medical or surgical procedures independently. It is the responsibility of each participant to consult with their hospital or clinical institution, relevant governing or licensing body, and the appropriate robotic or medical device manufacturer to determine the specific training, certification, and credentialing requirements needed to perform these procedures in clinical practice. Completion of an IMRA course should be viewed as a component of ongoing education and not as authorisation to perform robotic procedures on patients.
