Spine Next: A Hands-On Course for Early Career Surgeons powered by the SRS
Spine Next: A Hands-On Course for Early Career Surgeons powered by the SRS is the newest offering from the Scoliosis Research Society. Targeting Fellows and surgeons in their first five (5) years of practice, this course will provide attendees with an opportunity to not only learn surgical skills via three (3) lab sessions, but also soft skills that are often not part of an individual’s early training but are hugely impactful for their future.
While membership is not a prerequisite to apply, fellows must come from an SRS member institution. All attendees are expected to apply for SRS membership by the June 30 deadline of the year in which they attend the course.
