Targeted participants: Neuroradiologists, Interventionalists, and Musculoskeletal radiologists ranging from in-training through the first 5 years of practice. 

International experts in spine intervention will lead this full-day course comprised of hands-on, image-guided practice on specially constructed simulation models that mimic real-world challenges. This comprehensive course has been designed to bridge principles into practice and assist in building a skill set for spine intervention. This technical, how-to course will cover spine biopsies, spine injections (nerve root blocks/epidurals/facet), nerve ablation, vertebral augmentation, spine implant and hardware placement, spine tumor ablation, SI fusion, and intra-discal ozone treatments.

With an anticipated course ratio of 3-4:1 participant to faculty, this is your chance to obtain the hands-on training you want and engage in valuable personal connections through one-on-one discussions with international experts. This will also be an opportunity to see the wide array of products available for biopsy, vertebral augmentation, ablation and spine implants provided by vendors. 

No matter what your experience, whether in academics or private practice, we are confident that you will leave the course with a unique enthusiasm for spine interventions!
