Gynesim course are “All Hands-On All The Time” (1/2 day to 5 day courses):
Gynesim provides robust surgical training curricula based on sound learning and teaching theory: deliberate practice, proctored All-hands-on All-the-time and complete engagement, reiterative reinforcement of basic principles through graded challenge and complexity with an emphasis on procedural and skills training.
Gynecology Procedural and Skills Training:
Laparoscopic suturing and knot-tying – This course teaches a reliable, reproducible technique based on solving the fundamental geometric principles. The goal of this intensive suturing course is to provide surgeons with a reliable suturing and knot-tying skill that improves both surgical confidence to take on more complex cases and competence in the performance of them.
While offered in the Fall and Spring as the Boston-Gynesim Advanced MIGS practicum this course or modifications of it can be provided on-site in any venue anywhere at any time
Laparoscopic Procedure specific training – These courses focus on procedural training, leveraging the procedure-specific high fidelity Real Tissue Models to provide realistic simulation training in closely proctored repetitive drill. Procedural steps can be taught first in isolation, then in sequence, finally then supported by repetitive practice. With supervised practice, these individual steps build towards performance of a global procedure. Procedure specific courses offered include training in Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy, Myomectomy, Sacrocolpopexy, Radical Excision of Endometriosis.
Vaginal Hysterectomy and vaginal resuspension training course - This one day simulation course concentrates on the relevant anatomy of the female pelvis, the anatomic basis for vaginal hysterectomy, performance in simulation using the Vaginal Hysterectomy Real Tissue Models. Modified McCalls colposuspension is also taught.
Hysteroscopic Procedural Training - Gynesim provides highest fidelity simulation models for all hysteroscopic procedures including resection of types 0-2 fibroids, polyps and any customized pathology including septum.
Cadaveric Dissection - Laparoscopic Cadaveric pelvic dissection courses offered by Gynesim provide proctored hands-on opportunity to explore and define retroperitoneal spaces and anatomy and learn critical spatial relationships of the different structures in the pelvis. Gynesim has also developed a highly innovative "Constructive Dissection of the Female Pelvis" anatomy exercise as preliminary to the laparoscopic dissection - this exercise takes learners through a self-guided building of the pelvis from the "bones up".
Customized curriculum and individual training - Individualized training at your choice of venue (eg. office in home city) or in Boston. These courses are tailored to specific learning objectives and leverage closely proctored/supervised and all-hands-on-all-the-time training.
Distance/Remote Hands-on Courses - All courses can be set up as a remote learning opportunity either as an individual course, a group course or for individual surgeons either as a preliminary to a formal course attendance or in followup to courses taken. Gynesim provides laparoscopic box trainers (Gynecase) and all necessary equipment including two way video conferencing technology for expert surgical training and instruction.
