I knew I was interested in the surgical field prior to researching the specifics of the job, but conducting further research allowed me to deepen my understanding on the topic and what exactly it entails.
Looking towards the year I have ahead of me in the Independent Study and Mentorship Program, I made it my focus to deepen my knowledge on the basics of robotic surgery.
Having thoroughly established my knowledge on the basics of robotic surgery, I made it my focus to better understand the mechanics behind the common da Vinci surgical system.
Previously, my research has only been focused on the positives of robotic surgery. Today, I sought out to evaluate risks that may accompany it as well.
I wanted to learn more about the use of the robot as well as its evolution in gynecologic oncology (from laparoscopic to robot-assisted).
In a nutshell, this article has everything I needed and more to aid with my Original Work project. It is truly the perfect article to conduct and assessment over for me.
Through the article, I learned a great deal on the role of education in gynecologic fellowships on robotic surgery.
With my Original Work idea in mind, it was necessary for me to conduct more research on the current involvement of robotic surgery in residency and other training programs.
Wednesday, January 19th was the annual ISM Research Showcase: a convening of every student in the ISM program district-wide to display their primary research, mentorships, and projects from the first semester.
The Business Symposium is a convening of every student in the ISM program to come and sharpen their professional skills, expand their networks, and gain valuable insight from the people who have walked in our footsteps years ago.
