Surgical assistants with robotic surgery skills are in high demand, but gaining these skills can be challenging. Instead of waiting for limited opportunities within your hospital, you can fast-track your robotic training with our Robotic Surgical Assistant Course.
This course provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory and practice of assisting in robotic surgery, including hands-on experience on robotic platforms with our life-like, Pindari synthetic training models.
All doctors interested in or who are commencing robotic surgery practice including surgeons, trainees, surgical assistants and residents.
Our course is facilitated by experienced robotic surgeons and surgical assistants who share their expert tips and tricks for becoming an effective bedside surgical assistant. To learn more about our trainers, visit our faculty page.
This course covers essential topics such as robot technology, safety protocols, robot setup, and fundamental operating skills. You'll explore pathways to competency through lectures on robotic experience, components of surgical robots, buttonology, and instrumentation. Additional topics include docking and undocking procedures, instrument exchange and visualization, and the efficient use of vascular ligation devices like Hem-O-Loks and Ligaclips.
- Understand the system features of surgical robots
- Master the steps for safe robot setup
- Grasp the principles of effective robotic surgical techniques, both at the console and bedside
- Have a thorough introduction to robotic simulation
- Explore current robotic procedures
- Earn certification in Robotic Assisting
This course includes:
1. Online pre-course: the link will be sent to you after enrolment
2. Face-to-face activities on the course day
3. Post-course survey: the survey will be sent to you after the course
IMRA's hands-on training workshops use our life-like, Pindari Product range on our surgical robots. Pindari surgical training models have been crafted by surgeons and engineers to respond to suture, electro-cautery and stapling like human tissue. Our products are cruelty free and are anatomically and procedurally accurate.
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.
