Surgery (SMISS) will be an intensive program focused on the latest
techniques in
minimally invasive spine surgery. The main scientific session on
Friday, November 14, 2008 is CME accredited by the University of
California, San Diego School of Medicine. A highly interactive program
is planned consisting of lectures by leaders in the field, case
discussions, debates, and presentation of research. This will be
combined with a hands-on lab program on Thursday, November 13 and
Saturday, November 15. The Thursday and Saturday laboratory sessions
will be dedicated to cadaver and dry lab instruction. The stations will
showcase various types of procedures performed in minimally invasive
spine surgery. The objective of this course is to familiarize spine
surgeons with the multiple techniques and various platforms which may
be used in their current or future practice.<br/></font> ]]></description>
