Course description

The specimens are well preserved and closely simulate the clinical situation. A hands-on approach will be used with no more than four participants per cadaver to ensure small intimate groups to allow for questions and answers during dissections. A multimedia approach will be used, and we recommend that registrants bring their own loops. All other instrumentation will be supplied.
