Our Surgical Skills space offer both dry lab and wet lab experiences.  Laparoscopy, surgical microscopy, surgical cautery and suturing are available for deliberate practice and assessment.  The Surgical Skills space also houses both the GI Mentor™ and Davinci Robotic System.

GI Mentor™ is a top of the line endoscopic medical simulator for the training of gastrointestinal upper and lower endoscopic procedures, offering a comprehensive library of modules with more than 120 tasks and virtual patient cases. The simulator provides multiple training opportunities with true to life patient cases offering realistic scenarios of clinical situations, ranging from simple diagnostic procedures to advanced ERCP procedures and Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) procedures. Original Colonoscope and Duodenoscope have been customized to provide realistic simulation including tactile sensations and various endoscopic tools. The GI Mentor provides an excellent environment for practicing clinical procedures in a safe and realistic manner.

The da Vinci Surgical System is a sophisticated robotic platform designed to expand the surgeon’s capabilities and offer a state-of-the-art minimally invasive option for major surgery. With da Vinci, small incisions are used to insert miniaturized wristed instruments and a high-definition 3D camera. Seated comfortably at the da Vinci console, your surgeon views a magnified, high-resolution 3D image of the surgical site inside your body. At the same time, the latest robotic and computer technologies scale, filter and seamlessly translate your surgeon's hand movements into precise micro-movements of the da Vinci instruments. Although it is often called a “robot”, the da Vinci System cannot move or operate on its own; your surgeon is 100% in control. Practicing with a simulator console in iCELS will help surgeons to refine their da Vinci skills.

Our team is always ready to collaborate on new projects, we will work with you to develop curriculum, build scenarios, create skills workshops, or just show you how to use our equipment.  From the novice to the expert we can help you to enhance any experiential learning project.
