DavosCourse Robotic Training 2024
Robotic surgery is an interesting and growing field also in visceral surgery. Starting in 2019 with the Da Vinci System at the industry booth we are enlarging the training options every year. In 2024 we will offer several training courses running additional to the regular schedule of the DavosCourse Modules Basic, Intermediate and Advance, but also include Robotic exercises in the new module Upper GI.
Important:
All courses will only be additional to the DavosCourse Modules Basic, Intermediate and Advanced. Participants as well as Instructors, Faculty and Board are invited to join. During the practical exercises of your own DavosCourse Module no participation in a Robotic Course is possible.

Virtual Reality Training
Surgical procedures have become more complex, requiring surgeons to quickly learn new skills without interfering with the operating room efficiency or jeopardizing patient care. The Davos Course therefore integrates Virtual Reality Training into the basic course, so that - alongside hands-on exercises - young surgeons get the training and practice that they need.
Participants in the basic course will join the Virtual Reality exercises as they are scheduled during the week, whereas surgeons in the intermediate and advanced courses may attend during the open time slots.
