Radiofrequency Bio-Skills Lab 2025

Radiofrequency Bio-Skills Lab 2025 is organized by International Pain & Spine Intervention Society (IPSIS) and will be held from Mar 28 - 29, 2025 at Macquarie University Clinic Building, Macquarie park, New South Wales, Australia.

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.

During Lab Rotations, Expert Instructors Will Provide You With Hands-on Experience in Groups of 5 Attendees on:

• L1-4 Medial Branch RFN
• L5 Dorsal Ramus RFN
