The Fellowship in Robotic Urology is a fully-fledged 12-month advanced training program geared towards providing urologists with in-depth knowledge and experience in robotic-assisted and minimally invasive urologic surgery. The programme integrates online learning, simulation training, live surgical demonstrations, clinical observations and mentorship to cultivate advanced skills in robotic prostatectomy, nephrectomy, cystectomy and pyeloplasty, reconstructive urology and uro-oncologic surgery. Participants have a wealth of exposure to state-of-the-art robotic surgical systems, cutting-edge imaging modalities, perioperative management, and evidence-based surgical techniques, which will allow them to be able to perform complex urologic procedures with greater precision, safety, and clinical outcomes. The programme will train fellows to be future leaders in the field of rapidly changing robotic and minimally invasive urologic surgery.
