Intensive Anatomy and Hands-On Fluoroscopic Correlation Bio-Skills Lab

Intensive Anatomy and Hands-On Fluoroscopic Correlation Bio-Skills Lab is organized by International Pain & Spine Intervention Society (IPSIS) and will be held from Jun 07 - 08, 2024 at University of New England, Biddeford, Maine, United States of America.

Description:
Spend a weekend with master anatomist, Professor Frank H. Willard, in his lab exploring the anatomical foundation for interventional pain treatments, including the basis for emerging treatments and techniques such as transpedicular access.

It's hard to overstate the instructive value of receiving hands-on training from Course Director Scott Naftulin, DO, and renowned IPSIS instructors Timothy Maus, MD; and Daniel Martin, MD, on Professor Willard’s cadaveric dissections — expertly prepared on one side to fully reveal the relevant structures and intact on the other to allow visualization of needle placement.

Think of the impact on your outcomes when you understand not just where your needles should be, but why they need to be there.

Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
• Analyze the imaging depiction of the relevant anatomy;
• Relate patient history and physical exam findings with imaging to achieve a likely diagnosis of the spinal pathology causing the patient’s pain or dysfunction;
• Describe the literature support for the efficacy of the procedures;
• Identify the risks and benefits of each procedure, as well as assessment, prevention, and treatment of potential complications;
• Apply technically correct performance of the spinal procedures using safe fluoroscopic guidance with minimal tissue injury or discomfort.
