The Amsterdam Skills Centre (ASC) is a world-renowned training facility for excellence and innovation in surgery. Last year, over 7,000 surgeons from 63 countries were trained at the ASC, utilizing digital, robotic and other minimally invasive technologies. We combine cutting edge technology with the ASC vision on training to transform surgical education.
Spacious multifunctional wet labs with 23 fully equipped OR stations occupy 1,000 m2. Presently 11 robotic systems, 1 mobile CT Scan and 8 C-arms plus 2 3-D C-arms for fluoroscopic imaging during surgical procedures are utilized in teaching the latest surgical techniques.
Large classrooms/conference rooms with the latest AV and streaming options provide flexible, multi-functional spaces which can accommodate both smaller and larger groups of up to 200. Availability of microphones, laptops and flipovers, and the ability to host online events. Streaming from ORs brings live surgery to your course or meeting. Private work and meeting areas encourage interaction and collaboration.
Our welcoming staff support your event with AV/ICT support and professional tailored catering in our spaces designed to work, lounge, lunch and relax. Our conference rooms link directly to our spacious atrium with bar and outside terrace for entertaining. The ASC also features a boardroom and business lounge with full AV capability.

Video Based Assessment
Five billion people, two thirds of the global population, have poor or no access to basic surgical procedures such as Caesarean section, laparotomy for acute abdominal disorders, groin hernia repairs and management of fractures.
The burden of surgically treatable conditions is greater than that of HIV, tuberculosis and malaria combined. More than two million surgical staff need to be trained to address this global need for surgery.
Collaborations with the Department of Defense (training for military surgeons) and the National Training Institute for Paramedics address the need for specialist, state-of-the-art training in situations where every second counts.
