Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency Robotics Curriculum

Our residency offers the opportunity for residents who envision robotic surgery as part of their future practice to become daVinci (Xi) Robot Certified. 

This curriculum includes:

• Completion of the online daVinci system online training modules 
• In person hands-on in-service with a daVinci representative
• Completion of modules on the daVinci simulator 
• Collection of cases (10 bedside assist, 20 primary surgeon)

Additionally, four-hour long simulation “boot camps” will be offered at least semi-annually throughout four years of residency, as well as the opportunity to participate in a Houston wide gynecology simulation session in the third and fourth years of training. 

At the conclusion of residency training, if all the requirements are met, the resident will receive a daVinci System Training Equivalency Certificate, which can be submitted as proof of proficiency when applying for hospital privileges.
