Working and learning alongside our robot-assisted surgery experts provides researchers and surgeons the confidence and experience to deliver advanced treatment options at their home institutions.

We are proud to offer:

  • Fundamental Skills of Robotic Surgery (FSRS): This customizable curriculum builds over time, moving from directed observation to purely hands-on training, instilling a deep understanding of each technique. The program is available for teams and individuals alike and is offered in 3 packages depending on budget, time, and previous experience. Through this training, you will develop the skills required to master robot-assisted surgeries.
  • Fundamentals of Laparoscopic Surgery (FLS): This SAGES exam assesses your training in both cognitive and technical skills needed to successfully perform laparoscopic surgery. ATLAS offers a training package to master these skills.
  • Fundamentals of Endoscopic Surgery (FES): This SAGES exam assesses your training in both cognitive and technical skills needed to successfully perform endoscopic surgery. ATLAS offers a training package to master these skills.
  • Fundamental Use of Surgery Energy (FUSE): This SAGES exam assesses your ability to safely use robotic surgical energy-based devices in the operating room and endoscopic suite.

We are the only place in New York State to offer you all three fundamental exams developed by the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons.
