Professor Dr. Alex Mottrie
Prof. Dr. Alex Mottrie is the Head of the Urological Department of the OLV Hospital Aalst in Belgium. He is also President of the European Robotic Urology Section and the worldwide Society of Robotic Surgeons. Finally, he is CEO of the OLV Vattikuti Robotic Surgery Institute (ORSI).
His tips to become more culturally competent are:
- Next to being professional, try to be social as well.

- Speaking an extra language here and there really helps bridge the culture gap.
