APPROVED COURSE REPORTS
31st Annual San Diego Shoulder Course
Part of SDSI’s attraction is its varied and robust agenda. Participants can structure learning opportunities based on interest and level of expertise. Course lectures cover a broad spectrum of topics including arthroscopy, arthroplasty, reverse arthroplasty, instability, cuff repair, and rehabilitation. SDSI is recognized for expert faculty representing leading experts from both the United States and abroad. Lecture sessions are followed by interactive and dynamic case study panel discussions. Dispersed between lecture sessions are individualized hands on laboratories. Laboratories include: cadaveric laboratories (focusing on arthroscopy, Latarjet, and arthroplasty), a total shoulder and fracture fixation workshop, an arthroscopy model lab, and a mini-executive rotator cuff repair fellowship. The course also offers a variety of intimate break-out sessions addressing specialized interest groups. Included in the offerings are: How to Fix Big Tears, Open and Closed Latarjet Technique, Cuff Repairs, Instability, Clavicle Fractures, and Special Considerations for the High Impact Athlete (such as cross-fit).
Course laboratories are unique in that SDSI believes in individualized and customized training. With a strong compliment of expert teaching staff, laboratory participants are afforded the opportunity to perform a specialized procedure in the company of an expert practitioner in a mock surgical environment.
A DVD of course lectures is released in October of each year. The course is unique and phenomenal. You won’t want to miss the next course June 17–20, 2015 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront.
