Remote hands-on training with live proctorship


4 Online Lectures

Before the hands-on sessions, participants access short pre-recorded classes by expert faculty. These lessons, available on our platform, provide the essential knowledge to start training with confidence.

3 Hands-On Sessions


You wil perfom 12 partial nephrectomies on a high-fidelity kidney model. The curriculum starts with small and polar tumors, and progresses by raising complexity with big, hilar, and completely endophytic tumors.

Live Proctorship


Our hands-on sessions are delivered live via Zoom, where two expert surgeons guide you step by step through the partial nephrectomy procedure. You'll receive real-time feedback, tips, and tricks to help you perform each stage safely and successfully.
