The following video demonstrates that surgeons can use robotic remote presence as a single methodology to acquire a new set of surgical skills.
Traditional post-residency surgical training programs that teach new procedures or techniques are offered as didactic courses assisted by live video or as on-site preceptor ship programs. Consequently, the student is often required to travel to an out-of-town facility, which can be time-consuming and expensive.
Using Robotic remote presence technology as a mobile, real-time telecommunication platform, the surgical education paradigm can be changed to one where actual attendance is replaced by robotic tele-presence.
