Abstract
The University of Illinois purchased their first da Vinci System in September of 2002. Within the first calendar year, their program began orienting trainees to the da Vinci Standard System to make its inclusion in their clinical training run more smoothly. During the ensuring 16 years, their program has evolved into more frequent resident orientations, lectures, and courses. The program has grown over the course of different versions of the da Vinci System. Currently, their program houses three Xi and two Si systems. Led by Dr. Crawford and Mr. Dwyer they have formalized their curriculum using a systematic progression of skill acquisition. The lecture will detail the program’s organic development over the last 16 years. It will also explain the scientific measurement tools recently applied to the curriculum.
