System Architecture & Clinical Foundations
Understand master-slave kinematics, indications, and electrosurgical safety.
From Privilege to Possibility.
Train Like the Surgeons Who Will Define the Next Decade.
The Academy of Surgical Innovation, in collaboration with MicroPort® MedBot and RCGA, presents the official Toumai™ MT-1000 Clinical Certification. A six-step pathway from theory to independent practice — the same standard used at 35+ hospitals worldwide.
About the Academy
Building Equal Competence Globally
The Academy of Surgical Innovation is the educational platform behind the Toumai MT-1000 Clinical Certification. The curriculum is structured by MicroPort® MedBot — the only company in the world covering the six major surgical-robotics specialties — and delivered in collaboration with RCGA across Latin America.
This is not a course. It is a clinical pipeline: theoretical mastery, simulator-validated competence, dry-lab certification, and proctor-supervised live surgery — until a surgeon is ready to operate independently.
No shortcuts. No symbolic certificates. Real surgical readiness.
SURGEON AT CONSOLE
Manufacturer-structured clinical education
Theory, simulation, dry-lab training, proctored surgery, and final release.
The Program
Eight Modules. One Standard of Practice.
The Toumai certification program is structured into eight progressive modules. Each module ends in a competency checkpoint. No surgeon advances without demonstrated mastery.
OR Setup & System Initialization
Execute boot sequences, OR layouts, and self-diagnostics flawlessly.
Sterile Field & Draping Protocols
Drape every component with zero compromise to asepsis.
Vision Platform & 3D Endoscope
Manipulate the 3D endoscopic system for optimal visualization.
Patient Platform Docking & Port Placement
Strategize trocar placement and dock without tissue avulsion.
Surgeon Console Ergonomics & Teleoperation
Achieve ambidextrous teleoperation through hand controls and pedals.
Instrument Handling & Lifecycle Management
Install, exchange, and reprocess instruments with digital lifecycle tracking.
Emergency Interventions & Undocking
Respond to faults, power loss, and surgical emergencies by protocol.
Eight modules. One certification. Zero shortcuts.
Methodology
Learn It. Simulate It. Operate It.
The Toumai pathway separates learning from doing — and gates one with the other.
Theoretical Mastery
Pre-shipped didactic content. Robotic surgery fundamentals, video library, system anatomy, indication review. Completed before any hardware contact.
Simulation-First
20 to 40 hours of simulator practice with on-site clinical specialist support. No surgeon touches a patient before the simulator says they're ready.
Proctored Live Surgery
Initial cases performed under direct proctor supervision, started within 15 days of theoretical certification. Independent practice authorized only when the proctor signs off.
Competence is verified, not assumed.

- ◆ Community of practice with surgeons certified in 15+ countries
- ◆ Priority enrollment in advanced and pathway-specific tracks
The Pathway
Six Steps. One Certified Surgeon.
The Toumai pathway is a sequenced clinical pipeline. No step is optional. Each step gates the next.
1
Surgeon Profiling
Aligning your background with the appropriate training pathway.
2
Theoretical Training
Pre-shipped didactic content: fundamentals, video library, observation.
3
Local Simulation
20–40 hours of simulator practice with on-site clinical specialist.
4
Dry-Lab (3 days)
Intensive hands-on training at the certified center.
5
Proctored Surgery
Initial cases under direct proctor supervision (within 15 days).
6
Final Release
Independent practice authorized upon proctor validation.
The era of equal access to surgical robotic education has begun.
Why This Certification
