Theoretical and practical Courses in Cardiac-Surgical simulation
Presentation
The Course aims to allow young cardiac surgeons and cardiologists to improve their surgical performance by conducting simulations on absolutely state-of-the-art 3D printed cardiac models of pathological hearts by performing complex procedures, shortening their surgical training.
Who is the Course aimed at?
The Course is aimed at Medical surgeon residents or specialists in Cardiology and Cardiac Surgery interested in furthering their practical training of complex procedures on cardiac models.
STRUCTURE
The unique Course combines modules of face-to-face learning and hands-on training. The main focus of the training program is on hands-on practice of complex surgical procedures on 3D printed cardiac models of pathological hearts.
Five sessions of the Course are planned for 2024 in June, September, October, November, and December: each session consists of 1 or 2 days which include vertical training modules distinct in educational content, during which physicians will be able to perform up to two surgical simulation procedures each day.
The Course will be delivered in English.
The Course will be ECM accredited for health care professionals.
DURATION
Each day provides 8 hours of educational activities totaling 16 hours for each session.
