Have your students been able to use the online training component in their remote learning? We have not used the online training from Da Vinci as part of remote learning because we have a smaller class size that was able to meet on-site and be within the safe parameters of new social distancing requirements. That being said, this is certainly coursework that can be part of remote learning for programs that are incorporating new materials with the changing circumstances. I would highly suggest that any program exploring this option have instructors take the online course themselves so they are familiar with the website, required logins and the process itself. Is there anything else you’d like to share about the certification? If this is something you are considering, please keep in mind there are several models of the Da Vinci Surgical robot. We take the modules that are in line with the Da Vinci robots at our clinical sites. It would also be a good idea to have a lecture regarding the Da Vinci before students take the online course, so that students are familiar with the terminology and concepts that are part of the course. Additionally, I would highly recommend contacting a local Da Vinci representative to help incorporate this certification. Integrating this certification into your program can be a great opportunity for your students. We have received positive feedback from many graduates who have shared that that the Da Vinci certification helped them gain employment after graduation by giving them an edge over other applicants.
