Online Hands-On Surgical Training (HOST)

The pre-registered attendees have the opportunity to perform surgical procedures on their own simulation models. This online course is focused on Aortic Arch Repair. The registered applicants will be provided with five surgical simulation models in advance by mail. After a short introductory lecture and demonstration by a proctor, the attendees will practice the procedure, which will be viewed in real-time by the proctors through a webcam. The proctors will monitor the attendee’s procedure to give technical advice and take questions throughout the session. It is recommended that the attendee's purchase the 3D PrintHeart Chest-Wall Operating-Table Simulator for an enhanced learning environment.
