The main objective of the Master consists in developing scientific, technical and cultural background in the different areas involved in the management of patients with heart disease who are candidates for minimally invasive cardiac surgery, through an interdisciplinary approach. The surgeons attending the Master will receive the key elements in order to assure their patients the best, less invasive, and up-to-date treatment.

The Master course has a duration of 18 months and is organized over periods with distinct training objectives: theoretical and methodological, through traditional lectures and WEB based lessons and discussion of clinical cases;  practical, aimed at developing technical skills, through residential surgical training programs in qualified international Institutions identified by the Master Scientific Committee.

"This Master course, at its third edition - Prof. Claudio Passino says - is a great opportunity both for young surgeons to gain expertise in a very dynamic field of cardiac surgery, and for experienced surgeons to learn from international experts the “tips and tricks” for improving their surgical practice.”
