AOSpine Advanced Level Specimen Course—Degenerative Spine

On behalf of AOSpine Poland we would like to invite you to the first AOSpine cadaveric course in this part of Europe.

The Course will consist of both a symposia and two days of cadaveric workshops. The symposia will be divided into lectures, case presentations and round table discussions. The theoretical part will place emphasis on small group discussions which proved to be the best way of learning and retaining the information gained at our events. The cadaveric workshops will be fully packed with modern minimally invasive techniques dedicated to address different aspects of degenerative spine disease. At this Advanced Level Course there will be extensive expert opinion, experience sharing and interaction with participants. The participants will be encouraged to play an active role during the course.
