Unveiling Ceremony of S.M.A.R.T Centre

We fully embrace the "crawl, walk, run" philosophy, which emphasizes the importance of gradual skill development through a structured and stepwise approach. Our mission is to provide CUHK Shenzhen students with a distinct competitive edge. Our training program focuses on offering early exposure to advanced technologies within a safe, low-stakes simulation environment. This carefully designed progression begins with mastering anatomy and fundamental surgical skills, transitions to laparoscopic techniques, and ultimately advances to the complexities of robotic surgery. By building a strong foundation and gradually introducing students to increasingly sophisticated tools and methods, we ensure they develop confidence and proficiency at every stage of their training journey.
