Training

We develop, together with experts in the field of surgical training, pathways for various cardiovascular and thoracic procedures. Our training pathways are based on the latest educational science and is structured like an air-pilot-training concept course. Starting with technical and theoretical pre-assessment and subsequent days of intensive training on simulators, mixed with interactive presentations and videos regarding all aspects of a particular surgical procedure.

We incorporate pre- and post-assessment, whether on theoretical or technical competences, together with in-depth evaluations of our processes. Our training philosophy is inspired by the work done by cardiothoracic surgeon Peyman Sardari Nia, MD, PhD, on structural training program for endoscopic mitral valve surgery at Maastricht University Medical Center.
