EANS HandsOn Course

To apply for this course please email amy.pinchbecksmith@eans.org

The EANS HandsOn course is aimed specifically at participants in the third year of the EANS Training course cycle. Preference will be given to these applicants, but others are very welcome to apply for any places which remain available. The first pilot course took place in June 2012 and it was very successfull.

The next HandsOn Course will take place from 2nd - 5th July 2013 in Lyon, France.

The capacity of the course is 20 participants, which will allow a ratio of two participants per cadaver. The programme comprises both cranial and spinal approaches and endoscopy techniques.

There will be about 10 faculty members, approximately half of whom will be regular EANS teaching staff. The rest will be expert local teachers, with considerable experience of teaching on similar cadaver courses.

We believe that Lyon is an excellent venue for our HandsOn course. It is easily accessible both by air and by rail and the University Hospital has considerable experience and expertise in this field.

The course itself will be taking place at:

Département Universitaire d'Anatomie
Faculté de Médecine Lyon Est
8, avenue Rockefeller
69373 Lyon Cedex 08

Testimonials:

"Very cost efficient comparing it to other courses that I have attended in the past. The cadaver lab was equipped remarkably well, I never expected to have so many surgical instruments for a cadaver course: tools/ microscopes/ drills! All in abundance! The specimens were the BEST I've seen so far! Thanks to the guys in the lab! Gave me the feeling sometimes that It was close to operating on a live human being. Overall, it was by far the best hands on course that I've been so far! keep up the good work!"

"The course was fantastic, and was of high standard. If you can maintain  this standard with such a relatively low cost, and remarkable cost - benefit  ratio, your course will always be one of the best among hands on courses. I fully agree with your policy: preferring cheaper accomodation to more expensive course content."
