Proficiency-Based Progression Train the Trainer Course in Robotic Surgery


Training details

The overall aim of the programme is to provide healthcare professionals specialising in robot-assisted surgery who (wish to) teach their colleagues about the safe and effective use of the robot with the necessary tools and insights to apply the proficiency-based progression methodology.

The course consists of two parts.

Part 1

Part 1 is discipline-independent and focuses on the principles of learning and training while part 2 is discipline-specific.

After completing part 1, you will receive a ‘certificate of participation’ of Orsi Academy. The training will only lead to a certificate of KU Leuven if both part 1 and part 2 are taken and successfully completed by participants.

Part 2

Participants for the second part are surgeons with experience in the course-specific surgical procedure and must have performed sufficient number of cases at a high performance rate.

To start the second part of the training, you must pass the first part. Upon completion of the full training (part 1 and part 2), you may carry out teaching assignments for Orsi Academy, the EAU and all other scientific associations that are (or will be) linked to Orsi Academy for 3 years. After approval and official registration for the full course, you will be forwarded to the website of KU Leuven, where you will be enrolled at the Faculty of Medicine.

Structure of the course

The course consists of two parts. Part 1 gives participants a broad and robust understanding of the different types of theoretical and practical approaches to PBP learning. The focus is on device training and basic surgical skills.

Part 2 of the programme translates the insights gained from part 1 into specific, complex surgical procedures in a clinical context.

Requirements Part 1

  • Participants must have obtained at least a professional bachelor's degree in healthcare (or equivalent through experience)
  • Participants have passed the selection procedure.

Requirements Part 2

  • Participants must have passed part 1.
  • Participants are surgeons with experience in the course-specific surgical procedure.
  • Participants performed sufficient number of cases at a high performance rate. The benchmark for this is set by Orsi Academy for each procedure.
