Description: Designed with a growth model mindset, this course is designed for gynecologic surgeons of all skill levels to build or expand upon their current robotics practice. Attendees will learn how to transition from a traditional or conventional laparoscopic practice to a robotics integrated practice, realize the benefit of robotics for specific cases, decide when to refer to a MIGS specialist, continually improve their skills, advance surgical efficiency, maximize the benefit of the dual console, appropriately utilize the available tools at hand and learn about current and up-and-coming robotic platforms for gynecologic surgery.

Learning Objectives: At the end of this course, the participant will be able to:

1. Objective Integrate robotics into their surgical practice
2. Objective Improve robotic skills and efficiency in the OR
3. Objective Utilize the tools at hand to maximize the benefits of robotic surgery
