Program Goal

The Robotic Surgery Curriculum is designed to provide residents with the skills necessary to become practicing, credentialed robotic surgeons in benign gynecology through an integrated approach of computer-based learning modules and testing, hands-on training, and a case log system.

Objectives

  1. To provide all residents with basic knowledge of robotically assisted laparoscopy, its instrumentation, system components, and troubleshooting techniques through a computer based lecture and testing.
  2. To provide PGY-2, PGY-3, and PGY-4 residents with a dry lab to further familiarize themselves with the components and instrumentation of the robotic operating system and its uses.
  3. To provide PGY-3 and PGY-4 residents with access to an on-line case log system to track the number of cases performed and demonstrate competency.
