US-based Vattikuti Foundation on Friday announced to launch 'Vattikuti Explorers', a national competition aimed at identifying 20 innovative medical students in India and nurturing them in the field of robotic surgery. The programme, open to third and fourth-year medical students, offers a unique opportunity to delve into specialised areas of research with accomplished robotic surgeons guiding as mentors, the Foundation said in a statement.

"The 'Vattikuti Explorers' goes beyond traditional medical education as it offers students hands-on training, exposure to advanced surgical technologies, and the chance to connect with leading innovators across various medical fields," said Mahendra Bhandari, CEO, Vattikuti Foundation.

The 'Explorers' will get access to world-renowned medical experts in their field who, as mentors, will continue to guide and support through their early career. The eight chosen 'Explorers' from 20 participants will participate in a three-day immersion programme at the Orsi Academy in Melle, Belgium (from August 19-21).
