Overview
With safety as an utmost priority in spinal surgery, it is imperative that surgical trainees receive continual anatomical education. This is accomplished in the operating room while trainees learn on live patients. However, the safest way to learn is via cadaveric instruction. With the cost of health care increasing, the decrease in industry sponsored cadaveric courses due to political pressures against industry-sponsored medical education, and decreased working hours for physicians, such education is now at a premium. A spine cadaveric workshop is not only demanded but required in the current medical education so that surgeons can continue to be trained in safe and effective surgical techniques on the spine.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This activity is intended for spinal neurosurgeons and orthopaedic surgeons.
