Master in Paediatric Robotic Surgery

The Second-Level Master Paediatric Robotic Surgery is offered by the University of Florence, NEUROFARBA Department. It integrates theoretical instruction, advanced simulation training on robotic consoles, supervised clinical activity, perioperative management and patient safety protocols, with a competence-based approach that values technical and organisational skills. The pathway is aimed at those who wish to deepen and update their skills, with a structure that links theoretical reflection to concrete applications in the relevant professional context.

The master lasts 11 months and is in a mixed format: in person, distance learning and simulation. The language is English, with a B2 level required. Supervised clinical activity is included, without an explicit guarantee of external internships.

The aim is to train highly qualified specialists in robot-assisted paediatric surgery, with a focus on the standardisation of procedures, patient safety, the fundamentals of clinical research and programme governance. Career opportunities include healthcare and research settings, participation in clinical and research projects and coordination and governance roles. Upon completion, those who successfully finish the pathway obtain the qualification provided and can use the skills acquired in their own professional field or in further study. Concrete prospects nevertheless depend on each participant's starting profile and experience. Those who work should carefully assess the commitment required, in terms of weekly hours and attendance, to understand whether the programme is compatible with other professional or personal commitments.
