Mika Sinanan, MD, PhD
Co-Director, Center for Videoendoscopic Surgery
Department of Surgery
University of Washington
EXPERTISE:
In 1990, Dr Sinanan recognized the potential for laparoscopic surgery within general surgery and led the first laparoscopic course at the University of Washington Medical Center (UWMC). He began a carefully organized program of introducing procedures at UWMC, collaborating actively with other members of the division and the larger UWMC community to teach laparoscopic skills.
He spearheaded the development of the earliest accreditation documents for laparoscopic procedures at the Medical Center. These early stages of activity have resulted in the creation of the Center for Videoendoscopic Surgery (CVES) and Dr Sinanan's appointment as Co-Director in 1995.
As Co-Director, he has developed an educational and training program for Residents within and outside the Department of Surgery, designing a graduated approach to the training of advanced videoendoscopic techniques.
He has coordinated a series of practical courses in advanced videoendoscopic skills for practicing surgeons, implementing training procedures and materials, and established the Benchmark and Resident Credentialling Programs.
Dr. Sinanan has worked actively to develop an explicit didactic program for University of Washington residents. He has chaired and taught multiple courses for the residents, in addition to organizing and leading a large number of CME courses in advanced laparoscopic techniques.
His current efforts include the creation of a multi-disciplinary surgical simulation program and the development of a 7-Step Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Training Protocol, funded by Ciné-Med Corporation and US Surgical Corporation for national distribution.
Dr Sinanan has trained his colleagues at the Puget Sound Veterans Administration Health Care System, Harborview Medical Center, and UWMC in laparoscopic techniques and is now focusing his energies on expanding CVES. He has become the "Teacher of the Teachers" as he has pioneered this field to the level of physician expert.
