The Laboratory
Dr. Belsley has been working with the Center for Simulation, Training and Robotic Surgery from the time it was established at St. Luke's Hospital in 2003. By integrating the disciplines of Surgery, Medicine, Biomedical Engineering, Computer Science and Cognitive Learning, the center aims to design systems that allow physicians and paramedical personnel to improve the technical and cognitive education necessary for the care of patients.
Minimally Invasive Skills Training

Operating Suite

The advancement of surgical training as well as ongoing imaging, simulation and robotic research is the guiding compass for the Center.
The Center is composed of nearly 2,500 square feet of research, training and office space on the 11th floor of the Science and Research (S&R) building at the St. Luke's site. The fully operational research operating suite serves as host for robotic and laparoscopic training programs for both surgical residents and visiting surgeons. Advanced inanimate laparoscopic training modules as well as a laparoscopic computer simulator are housed in two other dedicated areas of the Center.
