The robotic revolution has exposed a critical gap in surgical training: equitable access to console time and quality mentorship. This is not just a logistical hurdle; it determines whether high-precision robotics will remain a privilege or become a global standard of care. This special 45-minute Global Dialogue brings together four residents from four continents to compare their real-world training challenges and define the needs of the next generation. Join us to understand the future blueprint for affordable and modular robotic platforms.
