Not to mention, our weekly 1-hour educational sessions and 4-month extended orientation plan for nurses.
But that's not all. If you're looking for experience in a state-of-the-art surgical setting that utilizes innovative technologies such as the GTX OR, DaVinci Robot, and Velys Robot, then Mount Sinai should be at the top of your list. These technologies are utilized in a variety of specialties, including Gynecology, Gynecologic Oncology, General Surgery, Urology, ENT, and robotic-assisted knee surgery.
