Program overview
The Fellowship in Paediatric Robotic Surgery offered by Medical Global Academy is an advanced, procedure-focused programme for surgeons who wish to specialise in paediatric surgical procedures conducted with the aid of a robotic system. This fellowship involves theory, simulation education, surgical experience and professional observation to enable the fellow to develop minimally invasive skills in children. Robotic system fundamentals, paediatric robotic urology, thoracic surgery, neonatal robotic surgery, paediatric gynaecology, ENT robotic procedures, perioperative care and advanced surgical planning are all covered. The mentored exposure to robotic systems, surgical ergonomics, incorporation of AI, ideas on Telesurgery and complication management is provided by experienced paediatric robotic surgeons. The programme also focuses on research, innovation, leadership and multidisciplinary collaboration to equip surgeons for the future of paediatric robotic surgery.
