IMRA Robotics course | Friday 19 September | Limited places available
The IMRA RoboStart course is an advanced training program that aims to enhance robot-assisted surgery skills through hands-on practice.
Created by and tailored for surgeons, the course offers a robotic learning experience, combining theory alongside essential hands-on practice. Hands-on activities move from virtual simulations to direct practice on a range of robotic platforms using synthetic training models that simulate human tissue responses. Participants will gain practical insights into key robotic features and procedures in a safe, ethical, and controlled environment.
