The Mini-Fellowship program offers The Best value in Arthroscopic Education at the AANA Fall Course!
For only $100 more than a general lab session, you will have a one-on-one cadaver laboratory experience with a recognized expert and the registration fee includes the corresponding lecture program.
During your laboratory experience your instructor will assist you in performing the arthroscopic procedures of your choice and share their insights, technical tips and pearls. As a registrant, you will select the instructor, identify the skills and procedures you would like to master and choose the specific instrumentation you prefer to employ in the 2½ hour lab. In the weeks prior to the Fall Course, you will communicate with your instructor by phone or by e-mail to share your level of experience and design a lab to meet your specific goals and wishes. In the months after your Mini-Fellowship you will employ your new surgical skills for the benefit of your patients.
The selection will be through a lottery system. To qualify you must be registered for another component of the Fall Course. Your participation in a Mini-Fellowship will not be confirmed until after September 25, 2008.
"The Mini-Fellowship provided a practical supplement of knowledge immediately applicable to my practice. Working side by side with a leading practitioner in the field of arthroscopy gave me a more complete perspective on the breadth of technical tricks that facilitate a set of surgical procedures I perform."
--John P. Peden, Jr., MD – 2007 Fall Course Mini Fellowship participant
