Realistic training. Meaningful repetition. Better prepared surgeons. Yesterday, we had the opportunity to attend a robotic partial nephrectomy training session organised by Intuitive at AB Medica in Milan as part of the Vita-Salute San Raffaele University program led by Dr Simone Scuderi. As surgical education continues to evolve, high-fidelity simulation is becoming an increasingly important component of procedural training. When surgeons can train in an environment that closely reflects the realities of the operating room, they gain valuable opportunities to refine technique, improve procedural efficiency, and build confidence through hands-on repetition. During the course, participants trained using IMRA Surgical's Partial Nephrectomy Class IV model integrated within the IMRA Hydra Torso. Together, these platforms provided a realistic procedural setup that enabled surgeons to practice key steps of robotic partial nephrectomy while replicating anatomical positioning, workflow, and tissue handling as closely as possible. It was inspiring to see surgeons engaging with realistic simulation in a way that supports skill development, deliberate practice, and surgical excellence at every stage of their robotic surgery journey. A special thank you to Luisa Leo and Daniel Gantz for the opportunity to attend and be part of this outstanding educational initiative. #SurgicalTraining #RoboticSurgery #MedicalEducation #SimulationBasedTraining #HealthcareInnovation #PartialNephrectomy #Urology #IMRASurgical

The work focuses on strengthening low-cost, self-directed surgical skills training for medical interns and early-career doctors who will serve at district hospitals and Health Centre IVs across Uganda @ASOU_Official. #CapacityBuilding #SimulationBasedTraining #GlobalSurgery.

Saudi Board residents proudly represented Saudi Arabia at the international simulation competition during the AACA Conference in Thailand, earning the Outstanding Performance Award. This remarkable achievement reflects the power of dedicated leadership, close supervision, and a strong culture of excellence. My sincere appreciation goes to Dr. Ryan Mouadh, Dr. Badr Al Babtain, Dr. Mohammed Alharbi, and all the distinguished training staff whose commitment made this success possible. Congratulations to our outstanding residents, you truly made us proud. On behalf of the Saudi Anesthesia Scientific Council (SCFHS), I extend my congratulations to the team. We are all proud of you. This success also stands on a much deeper foundation. Our national reference in healthcare simulation, and the visionary architect behind building this system at the national level, is Professor Abdulaziz Boker. The establishment of robust infrastructure and the development of skilled human capital over more than two decades are a testament to his leadership and vision. Generations continue to reap the rewards of what he has built. May all that he has given to this country be counted in the balance of his good deeds. #SaudiArabia #SaudiBoard #HealthcareSimulation #MedicalEducation #SimulationBasedTraining #AACA #GlobalHealth #MedicalExcellence #HealthcareLeadership #ProudMoment #SCFHS #ANESTHESIA

🎆#HappyNewYear2026, dear #CardioX🫀 As we enter 2026, I would like to sincerely thank you for the tremendous #support #collaboration throughout 2025 Special thanks for our shared commitment to education, training, and innovation in interventional cardiology. 🙏 A special thank you to Prof. Dr. Alexander Ghanem, who enabled me during my four years as an elected AGIK nucleus member to develop and implement innovative educational formats, including: • the #AGIKSimulationCourses (in collaboration with @Mentice) • the #AGIKSimuClass at DGKHeartDays (in collaboration with #SIMULANDS) • strengthened international networking, and • the strategic development and international positioning of the AGIK Interventionsakademie in close cooperation with PCR and #EAPCI. 🙏 My sincere thanks also go to @alaide_chief/@EAPCIPresident for driving the #EAPCI education initiatives forward: With the establishment of #EAPCIEducationalPathway with #OnsiteCourses (coronary & structural) and the #OnlineModules currently in production, which will comprehensively reflect the #EAPCICoreCurriculum, structured and sustainable education is reaching a new level. We created sustainable webinars and #EAPCIJournalClubs for the global community: #MoreToCome 🙏 I would also like to thank the #ACVC team — Prof. Ingo Ahrens (@ACVCPresident), Dr. Jordi Bañeras and Prof. Alessandro Sionis — for the successful establishment of the #ACVC/#EAPCI #CardiogenicShockSchool, a key educational pillar in one of the most challenging areas of our field. 🚀 2026 is ahead with exciting new projects, most notably the 👉 #EAPCISummit26, February 19–20, 2026, in Munich. I am very much looking forward to welcoming many international colleagues and, as Track Coordinator, to delivering more than 10 hands-on workshops together with @marioiancardio — covering topics such as Bifurcation PCI, Transseptal Puncture, Calcium Modification, M-TEER, and more. 🔵 Education. Collaboration. Innovation. 🔵 See you in Munich! 🙏 My sincere thanks also go to everyone I cannot mention individually — my team at Schön Klinik Hamburg Eilbek, the teams at @escardio and @DGK_org, and the many friends and colleagues who accompanied and supported me throughout 2025: #YouAreAmazing! I wish all of you a happy, healthy, and successful #2026 — both professionally and personally. #HappyNewYear2026 #CardiologyCommunity #InterventionalCardiology #EducationMatters #EAPCI #SimulationBasedTraining #EAPCISummit2026 #SeeYouInMunichIn2026

A truly outstanding talk by Dr. #RaedAlsuliman, who masterfully transformed a challenging subject into a clear, structured, and highly engaging learning experience. Exceptional clarity, practical insights, and a teaching style that makes complexity feel simple — this is what impactful education looks like. 🔥 Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG): Not Just a Procedure — A Philosophy of Practice ESG did not earn its place through hype. It earned it through data, discipline, and deliberate training. 🧠 The evidence speaks first. Randomized trials, meta-analyses, and long-term follow-up confirm one message: ESG works — when done right. 🪡 In ESG, technique is the therapy. Outcomes depend on where you start, what you avoid, how deep you bite, and how consistently you execute. ⚠️ Variation is the enemy of reproducibility. Without standardization, outcomes fragment. Without structure, safety erodes. 🧩 Before touching the scope, the mind must be ready. Patient selection. Indications. Consent. Peri-procedural planning. These are the first safeguards of patient safety. 🧪 Simulation is not optional — it is ethical. Mastery must happen before the first patient, not after the first complication. 📐 Time-based training belongs to the past. ESG demands competency-based progression with measurable benchmarks. 🛤 A true ESG pathway: Cognitive foundation → Simulation → Proctorship → Supervised independence → Continuous quality assurance 🏥 Credentialing is accountability, not bureaucracy. It protects patients, programs, and the specialty. 🔮 The future of ESG is hybrid and intelligent. But the principle remains: quality before volume, training before expansion. ✨ ESG is not something you do. It is something you build. 🔖 Hashtags #SDDF2005 #SGA #EndoscopicSleeveGastroplasty #MetabolicEndoscopy #AdvancedEndoscopy #CompetencyBasedTraining #SimulationBasedTraining #PatientSafety #QualityInEndoscopy #FutureOfGI

Modern #BifurcationPCI #Training: 🔵 The #HamburgBifurcationForum Workshop 👉 From A(ccess) to Z(ero Complications) Who wants 8 hours of lectures? Who wants to sit all day and only listen to theory? That was yesterday. Today is: #SimulationBasedTraining 💥 #Sim1Do1Teach1 – learn by doing, not just watching. More than 4 hours of hands-on training on the @Mentice G7 simulator, @terumoisuk wet models, and high-fidelity training tools to practice and perfect the latest techniques in modern bifurcation PCI. We trained: ✅ Mastering Provisional Stenting ✅ Switching strategies under pressure ✅ Optimizing with #IVI (#IVUS / #OCT) ✅ Advanced two-stent techniques – DK-Culotte, DK-Crush, TAP & more ✅ And yes, bailouts too… Big thanks to Terumo Interventional Systems and especially (!!!) Niels Ortmann, MBA who made this first #HamburgBifurcationForum a success – my co-chair @kaschenke , Thomas Sunnanväder, smart participants and the whole Terumo staff. This is just the beginning. 💪
