AMTI is comprised of 4 key pillars:

Minimally Invasive Surgery (Laparoscopy)
Dr. James C. Rosser not only teaches advanced laparoscopic procedures, but he utilizes them in his practice as well. Laparoscopy is a commonly performed procedure to examine the abdominal or pelvic organs. Investigative procedures can be performed with laparoscopy or “keyhole” surgery where in the past the abdomen would have to be opened in an operation known as a laparotomy. The procedure uses a laparoscope. This is a long thin instrument with a light source at its tip that illuminates the inside of the abdomen or pelvis. Fiberoptic fibers carry images from a lens, also at the tip of the instrument, to a video monitor, which the surgeon and other operative staff can view in real time. The laparoscope can be moved around within the abdominal or pelvic cavity to give several different views. Laparoscopy is routinely performed under general anesthesia. Laparoscopic surgical treatment may require one or more nights as an inpatient, depending on the exact procedure. However, laparoscopy without surgical treatment (investigative procedures) may be performed on an outpatient basis. For a complete list of procedures performed by Dr. Rosser, please click here.

Cyber-Based Education
AMTI conducts ongoing training and education programs utilizing the most state-of-the-art technology and techniques. AMTI offers cutting-edge skill training for surgeons to enhance the safest use of minimally invasive or laparoscopic procedures. Courses include the infamous Top Gun Laparoscopic Skills and Suturing Program and the Telemedicine Empowerment Course.

Telemedicine
Dr. James C. Rosser has extensive experience in telemedical applications and techniques. He is currently teamed up with Stryker Communications teaching Telemedicine Empowerment Courses. For a complete list of previous telemedical projects, click here.

Research and Development
The R&D currently underway at AMTI is focused on cyber-based education strategies and techniques that have the potential to decreases medical errors and deaths through skill acquisition. Innovative projects include the use of a video game warm-up to enhance surgical skill acquisition.
