CME Conferences

Each year we hold a number of separate courses, each directed by a different member of our world-renowned faculty who specialize in the neurosurgical treatment of a particular neurological disorder. Courses are directed towards physicians, nurses and allied specialists who treat these diseases and wish to gain a better understanding of the indications, options and results following neurosurgical intervention. We hope that you will be able to attend.

This course is a comprehensive overview of the newly emerging field of endoscopic skull base surgery, combining didactic sessions with hands-on cadaver dissection. At the completion of this course, participants should be well equipped to start utilizing these approaches in their own practices. Endoscopic instruments and surgical navigation equipment will be available to participants for use on fresh cadavers during laboratory sessions. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss difficult cases with the faculty during panel discussions.
