Step 2: Knowledge
Broaden your knowledge through interactive and hands-on demonstrations

• Use computer-based simulations for understanding the ergonomics of minimally invasive GYN surgery and correct port placement for optimal access
• View live web stream events discussing techniques and indications for laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH), total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH), and other GYN procedures
• Participate in one-on-one demonstrations of key technologies, presented by your EES Sales Professional

Step 3: Skills
Advance your skills through virtual and face-to-face programs guided by expert faculty

• Participate in a Surgical Proficiency Program that includes faculty-facilitated lab experience, preceptorship, video conferencing mentoring, and proctorship

• Examine “Case of the Month” videos discussing specific techniques and approaches for gynecologic surgical procedures

Step 4: Confidence
Achieve confidence in new technology through preceptorships/proctorships (small group or one-on-one) and advanced clinical and practice management support

• Work with a highly skilled minimally invasive GYN surgeon in an OR preceptorship or proctorship
• View a webinar or video program on how your OR team can build efficiencies for performing MIS GYN procedures
• Receive patient education materials to discuss MIS options for hysterectomy
• Review a cost analysis for laparoscopic hysterectomy

To ensure that the educational event meets the needs of the participants, our courses and preceptorship/proctorship programs have specific requirements for participation. Please ask your EES Sales Professional for a detailed brochure that provides further information specific to each program.
