Introduction
Urotrainer Academy offers a 5-week intensive hands-on training program for urology residents and fellows who want to master laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. You will perform 12 partial nephrectomies on a high-fidelity kidney model. The curriculum starts with small and polar tumors, and progresses by raising complexity with big, hilar, and completely endophytic tumors. Hands-on classes will be live on Zoom, tutored in real-time by experienced professors.
