Frequent skills training for residents must be offered before entering the OT- POP is perfect for us.
The P.O.P – Trainer is perfect for our colorectal workshops the best way to avoid the costly infrastructure of an animal lab.
P.O.P-dock-system is the best way to teach endourological and laparoscopic procedures.
Anlässlich unserer Hands-on-Kurse ist der POP seit Jahren im Einsatz.
Im Rahmen der Fortbildung wird der POP an meiner Abteilung mit großem Erfolg eingesetzt.
Wir nutzen den POP Trainer, weil ein sehr realitätsnahes Arbeiten möglich ist. Wir möchten keine Tierversuche durchführen, deshalb ist die Arbeit am POP Trainer für unsere Seminare sehr wertvoll.
Great Model, excellent teaching model for our courses at the Khoo Teck Puat Advanced Training Centre.
Highly motivating training, trainees are enthusiastic, individualized supervising of trainees and direct feedback with tutor is possible.
POP offers an ideal model for training for advanced laparoscopic skills. Based on our long-term experiences with hands-on-training courses of the EAU-section of Uro-technology (ESUT), POP-trainers are indispensable tools for laparoscopic training.
