2014 EFORT Comprehensive Review Course: The scientific program is now available

Issue: March 2014

The EFORT Comprehensive Review Course (CRC) is nowadays widely considered as a basic step in orthopaedic training. The high attendance and early interest raised by this educational program are supplementary reasons why it has become a constant component of our annual meetings. The 6th edition of the CRC occurring on the second day of the 2014 EFORT Annual Congress in London is scheduled to cover once more all the essential material to prepare for the EBOT exam in the most effective way across Europe.

The CRC aims to teach the knowledge that is needed for every specialist and broadens the participant’s orthopaedic horizon. It is a full-day course always running on the second day of the congress and aiming to provide the core theoretical knowledge expected of all orthopaedic trainees at the end of their specialty curriculum. This course provides up-to-date presentations in five major areas: Lower & Upper Extremities, Spine, Pediatrics and Basic Science. It must be seen only as an outline that obviously cannot be exhaustive.

The course is also a convenient way for experienced and senior surgeons to obtain an update of current practices and state of the art information encompassing the whole field of orthopaedics and traumatology.

Open to a group of 120 participants, the program of this new edition — with a special emphasis in medical education — has been extensively reviewed to ensure broad and well-balanced scientific content, to add interactivity with slots specifically dedicated to audience participation. It also allows a real exchange among attendees and the presenting experts via the online Forum hosted by EFORTnet.

The registration fees for the CRC along with 2 congress days are EUR 300. However, the CRC can also be booked separately for EUR 135, which covers documentation and lunch.
