The 18-month modular program is structured to accommodate the busy schedules of practicing clinicians. It employs a blended learning model, integrating in-person training with online education. Participants will need to travel five times to designated university centers for immersive hands-on sessions, live surgeries, and interactive lectures led by a distinguished international faculty.
