Your transformation awaits. Your patients are counting on it. Your career demands it. The only question remaining is when you’ll take the first step toward the surgical excellence that will define the rest of your professional life.

What exactly is the 28-day program, and how does it differ from traditional gynecology training?

Our program is a concentrated, immersive experience designed specifically for practicing gynecologists who want to master minimal access surgery without interrupting their careers long-term. Unlike traditional fellowship programs that span years, we compress the essential knowledge and hands-on training into an intensive 28-day journey. The first 14 days focus on online theoretical training, allowing you flexibility and convenience. The second 14 days are intensive on-site training with daily immersion from 8 AM to 6 PM, combining dry lab simulations, wet lab live animal surgery, and real operating theatre experience. This focused approach means you gain expertise quickly while maintaining some practice continuity.

How is this different from other minimal access surgery courses in India?

We’re the only program offering this specific blend of guaranteed operating theatre time with real patients, supervised by Prof. Alka Kriplani, combined with live animal wet lab sessions. Most programs offer either simulation training or occasional OR observation. We provide structured rotation through all learning environments—dry lab, wet lab, and real OT—ensuring you don’t just observe but actually perform procedures under expert guidance. Additionally, our faculty includes some of India’s most respected minimal access surgery pioneers, and you receive lifetime mentorship opportunities that extend well beyond your training period.

Who should apply for this program?

This program is designed for practicing gynecologists with an MBBS degree and preferably some gynecological experience who are serious about advancing their surgical skills. Whether you’re running a small clinic, working in a hospital, or planning to establish a gynecological practice, this training will exponentially expand your capabilities. The ideal candidate is someone who recognizes that minimal access surgery is the future of gynecology and wants to position themselves as the expert in their region.

What's included in the 14 days of online training?

Your online phase includes pre-recorded lectures covering fundamental minimal access principles, live interactive sessions with our faculty where you can ask questions in real-time, comprehensive study materials, and detailed instructional videos. You’ll earn CPD (Continuing Professional Development) points for this component, which is recognized by medical councils across India. The online content is structured progressively, starting with basic principles and building toward complex concepts, so you develop a strong theoretical foundation before your hands-on training begins.

Can I complete the online component while continuing my practice?

Absolutely. This is one of the greatest advantages of our program structure. The online component is self-paced within the 14-day window, allowing you to manage your time around your current patient schedule. You can access lectures and materials at times that work for you, review complex topics multiple times, and participate in live sessions according to your availability. Many participants continue seeing patients during this phase while dedicating specific hours to their learning.

What happens during the 14 days of on-site intensive training?

These 14 days represent the most transformative phase. You’ll be on campus from 8 AM to 6 PM daily, rotating through different learning environments. Your schedule alternates between theoretical review sessions, dry lab simulation practice, wet lab live animal surgery, and real operating theatre experiences. A typical day might begin with a theoretical session reviewing the day’s procedures, transition to dry lab practice to refine your technique, move to wet lab where you’ll perform actual procedures on live animal models under supervision, and conclude with a debrief session analyzing your performance and planning the next day’s focus.

Who exactly will be teaching me?

Your training will be directly supervised by Padma Shree Dr. (Prof.) Alka Kriplani, former Head of Department at AIIMS, one of India’s most respected minimal access surgery experts. She personally oversees all real operating theatre training and provides mentorship. You’ll also learn from Dr. Jyoti Yadav, Dr. Anurag Dhawan, and Dr. Renu Misra, all distinguished gynecologists with extensive minimal access surgery experience. Each faculty member brings their unique expertise and teaching passion, ensuring you benefit from multiple perspectives and approaches.

Will I have direct interaction with Prof. Alka Kriplani, or will I mainly work with junior faculty?

Prof. Alka Kriplani personally supervises operating theatre sessions and provides direct mentorship. This isn’t a program where the big name is advertised but rarely seen. You’ll work directly with her, learn from her surgical techniques, benefit from her decades of experience, and build a professional relationship that often extends beyond your training period.

What exactly is the wet lab component, and why is it so important?

The wet lab component involves performing laparoscopic procedures on live animal models in a controlled, ethical, and safe environment. This is crucial because it bridges the gap between simulation and human surgery (where mistakes have real consequences). In the wet lab, you work with living tissue that responds similarly to human tissue, practice your suturing and tissue handling on structures that resist and move realistically, and learn to troubleshoot real problems that arise during surgery. This experience is invaluable—it builds genuine confidence because you’ve actually performed procedures, not just simulated them.

Is the wet lab training ethical and regulated?

Absolutely. Our wet lab operates under strict ethical guidelines and regulatory oversight. All procedures are conducted humanely, with appropriate anesthesia, proper care, and complete adherence to animal welfare standards. We follow international protocols for animal-based surgical training, and our program maintains all necessary certifications and approvals. This training method is used by leading surgical programs worldwide and represents the gold standard for bridging simulation and human surgery.

What procedures will I perform during wet lab training?

You’ll perform a comprehensive range of laparoscopic procedures including diagnostic laparoscopy, salpingectomy, oophorectomy, hysterectomy, tubal sterilization, tubal recanalization, ovarian drilling, total hysterectomy, pelvic lymphadenectomy, Burch suspension, sacrohysteropexy, supracervical hysterectomy, and specialized procedures. The exact procedures you perform are tailored to your learning needs and current skill level, ensuring you’re constantly challenged but not overwhelmed.

How much real operating theatre time will I actually get?

This is where our program truly stands out. You’re not just observing—you’ll be assisting in procedures and progressively taking on primary surgical responsibility under supervision. On alternate days during your 14-day on-site phase, you’ll be in the operating theatre working with real patients. 

How many different types of procedures will I be trained in?

You’ll be trained in a diverse range of procedures covering virtually all common gynecological laparoscopic cases. Beyond the wet lab procedures, you’ll encounter Total Laparoscopic Hysterectomy (TLH), adhesiolysis, hysteroscopy with polypectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, hysteroscopic endometrial biopsy, bilateral endometrioma removal, complex hysterectomy with vault repair, septal resection, sacrospinous fixation with colporrhaphy, ovarian cystectomy, and ectopic pregnancy management. This comprehensive exposure means that when you return to your practice, virtually any minimal access case you encounter will feel familiar.

What certifications will I receive upon completion?

You’ll receive two significant credentials.  you’ll earn a prestigious Fellowship and Diploma from The Medicity, acknowledging your competence in minimal access surgery. Both certifications are valuable for your CV, practice credibility, and professional advancement.

Will these certifications help me attract more patients or establish my practice better?

Absolutely. Patients increasingly research their surgeons’ qualifications. Having specialized training in minimal access surgery from a recognized institution, especially one led by Prof. Alka Kriplani, positions you as an expert. You can confidently advertise your expertise, attract patients seeking minimally invasive options, and potentially charge appropriately for your specialized skills. Many of our graduates report significant increases in case referrals and patient volume after completing the program.

What are the admission requirements?

You need an MBBS degree and ideally some gynecological practice experience. We look for candidates who demonstrate commitment to professional development and genuine interest in advancing their surgical skills. Your academic records, professional experience, and personal motivation all factor into admission decisions.

Do you provide accommodation for out-of-station participants?
