The French College of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery (SFCTCV) organizes annual training sessions dedicated to the initial education of future thoracic and cardiovascular surgeons. These meetings, which are mandatory and qualifying for the DES, combine theoretical teaching, interactive discussions, and skills assessment.
Alongside the academic sessions, the College develops supervised hands-on training, based on simulation and anatomical models, to help young surgeons build and strengthen their technical skills outside the operating room.
By supporting these initiatives, Peters Surgical reaffirms its commitment to hands-on training and to supporting the next generation of surgeons.
