This curriculum-based, interactive regional course is designed for 150-200 delegates by the Scoliosis Research Society and regionally representative SRS members. These courses combine lectures, case presentations, and panel discussions covering a broad range of spinal deformity issues. SRS Regional Courses also include Industry Workshops and an Exhibit Hall.
For orthopaedic and neurosurgeons who have completed specialty training, who practice spine surgery and have an interest in operative and non-operative treatment of patients with spinal deformity.
Target Audience
Residents, fellows, orthopaedic and neurosurgeons who have an interest and are involved in spinal deformity management and treatment.
Admission To Sessions
Official name badges will be required for admission to all sessions. All Current Concepts in Spine Deformity attendees receive a name badge with their registration materials. Name badges should be worn at all time inside the meeting space, as badges will be used to control access to sessions and activities. Attendees are cautioned against wearing their name badges while away from the venue, as badges draw unwanted attention to your status as visitors to the city.
Attire
Business casual (polo or dress shirts, sports coats) is appropriate for meeting sessions and for all Current Concepts in Spine Deformity sessions; ties are not required.
Language
The Current Concepts in Spine Deformity will be presented in English.
Reduced Rate Registration
Countries that qualify for reduced rate registration.
The SRS hands-on courses provide an opportunity for participants to expand their knowledge and improve their skills through training and discussions with leading spinal deformity surgeons from throughout the world. Registration will be limited to ensure access to faculty, small-group interaction for better learning, and opportunities for hands-on work. A minimum of eight hours of the course will be devoted to lab work, with a strong faculty-to-learner ratio. Topics and lab sessions will cover all areas of the spine and a variety of conditions and techniques. The intimate learning theme will begin on night one with small group “Fireside Chats” with faculty and will proceed to presentations, video demonstrations and lab rotations on day 2 and 3.
Target Audience
For residents, fellows and orthopaedic and neurosurgeons who have an interest in and are involved in spinal deformity management and treatment.
