FELLOWSHIP IN MINIMAL ACCESS SURGERY
The Medical Global Academy (MGA) Minimal Access Surgery Fellowship is an extensive training program designed to provide surgical professionals with the latest and cutting-edge skills in minimally invasive procedures. The participants are engaged in practical training on the recent technologies and techniques such as laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery. The curriculum does not only focus on technical competency, but also on critical thinking, patient safety and post-operative care. Various procedures are presented to the fellows through a combination of lectures, workshops, and clinical rotations, expanding their knowledge base and enhancing patient outcomes. The fellowship is founded on the idea of a community of talented surgeons dedicated to the development of the sphere of minimally invasive surgery in India and further.
