Educational hours

Practical Part on Saturday, October 16 – 450 min
Total: 10,5 h

Target audience
Recommended for residents undergoing further training as well as experienced surgeons.

Main specialty of the event
The course offers the basics in clinical diagnostics, treatment and follow-up. The focus is on state-of-the-art surgical techniques.

Educational needs
Starts with clinical anatomy. Based on expressed needs by participants of previous courses and events (evaluations), residents and physicians in training request and appreciate „hands-on“ workshops, explanations of experts, the exchange with a variety of faculty as well as discussions with peers about clinical cases.

Expected educational outcomes
Consolidate the knowledge of classifications and most useful approaches. increase the spectrum of skills dealing with standard surgeries. Learning tips and tricks (alternatively: handy hints) in applying techniques and conducting
operations.

Nature of the event
Day one focuses on preoperative planning based on radiologic findings of the prefractured specimens. Following the theoretical session, day two focuses on practical case management in the cad lab. The inter-active course format will engage the participants and highlight the controversy linking lack of evidence and broad range of experience.


Methods to promote active learning
Multimedia presentations; time for question & answer sessions and discussion; cadaver workshop with helpful hints shown by faculty members.
