Extremity and Non-Spinal Injection Procedures
Interactive Q&A Session
Before the hands-on portion of the training, there will be an extensive Question and Answer session. This session not only covers the topics presented but also allows for discussion on additional subjects requested by the physician audience. This interactive experience is a vital component of the program, where instructors will present case studies and various academic problems for the group to solve.
Hands-On Training
The majority of the afternoon will be dedicated to performing various injection techniques. Physicians will practice on custom training models specifically designed for these injection techniques and surgical procedures. This extensive hands-on training will ensure that physicians leave the program feeling confident in their skills and techniques.
