Forward2024 Robotic Cardiac Surgery Online Curriculum
Course Description
This STS course is a series of on-demand sessions that offers cutting-edge information on robotic cardiac surgery, including mitral valve repair, coronary bypass, and other procedures. The online curriculum is led by world-renowned surgeon instructors with successful track records in robotic surgery.
The course is designed for surgeons and teams interested in starting a robotic cardiac surgery program, as well as experienced surgeons, anesthesiologists, nurses, perfusionists, supporting program administrators, and other team members seeking to enhance their skills. The course includes six sessions composed of prerecorded, narrated video lectures and demonstrations, each enhanced by an interactive panel discussion. A course director moderates each panel, which features faculty from each session and an audience Q&A.
Target Audience
This course is designed for the entire cardiac surgical team, including cardiothoracic surgeons, bedside assistants, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, operating room staff, cardiac anesthesiologists, perfusionists, and others involved with robotic cardiac procedures.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Summarize surgical plans for robotic cardiac procedures from beginning to end.
- Formulate preop evaluation, patient selection, and postoperative care pathways.
- Describe the multidisciplinary components of building a robotic cardiac surgery program from hospital administration to health care team personnel.
- Identify the ideal prerequisites for surgeon selection and hospital/program selection for starting and sustaining a robotic cardiac surgery program.
- Describe the steps and finances needed for creating a robotic cardiac surgery program within a hospital setting.
