1 The North American Spine Society presents Fundamentals of Spine Surgery and Interventional Pain Management 9.5 Hours of Hands-on Cadaver Lab Sessions 15 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits TM A Surgical/Interventional Course Designed for Residents and Fellows August 21-22, Science Care Training Lab, Long Beach, CA

2 Fundamentals of Spine Surgery and Interventional Pain Management Designed specifically for residents and fellows, this NASS two-day course covers the fundamentals of operative (surgical) and nonoperative (interventional injections) approaches in the treatment of spinal disorders. Expert faculty will introduce anatomic approaches to the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine as well as surgical and interventional injection indications, principles, techniques and skills. A panel discussion, lectures and case presentations will provide the background for 9.5 hours of handson cadaver sessions where residents and fellows will have the opportunity to practice these techniques. Gain strategies to: Identify the indications for interventional and surgical procedures, as well as outcome parameters including potential complications; Demonstrate fundamental knowledge of spine anatomical structures and their relationship to each other; Describe the key anatomic landmarks in the spine necessary to perform safe interventional and surgical procedures; Incorporate knowledge learned and skills acquired in fellowship training and future practice. Credits The North American Spine Society designates this live activity for a maximum of 15 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits TM. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity. I highly recommend this course. Presenters did an excellent job making surgical topics applicable to the non-surgeons. Labs were tailored to our interests perfectly providing an experience we would not get in our non-surgical training. If other residents were aware of this opportunity they would not be able to pass it up.
