The trainees will be introduced to the concept of robotic surgery with a few lectures by senior robotic surgeon and indications, know-how and technical considerations will be discussed. Operational knowledge on the organization of the OR and the handling of the robot will also be dispensed.

Then, workshops will be held all week for trainees to discover and practice the fundamental skills for robotic surgery with the help of simulator, microsurgery equipment and a wet-lab practical session. A follow-up document will help the trainees to work on their strengths and weakness with specific scores to reach for each essential and advanced robotic skills.

Furthermore, the VIT crew will monitor the progression of every trainees to help them get to their maximum potential.
