Rio de Janeiro TWC 2014

4th SICOT Educational Day

The SICOT Educational Day is an initiative undertaken by the SICOT Young Surgeons Committee. The aim of this day is to provide a comprehensive review course for residents and an evidence-based update for practicing surgeons on a specific theme at each SICOT meeting. The theme is selected in such a way that it is mutually beneficial to residents in their exams and to orthopaedic surgeons in their daily practice.

With the experience of three successful events we are pleased to announce the 4th SICOT Educational Day in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to be held on 19 November 2014. The theme for this year is ‘Shoulder & Elbow’. We have invited expert Faculty from over 10 countries for lecturing on the course. The SICOT Moderators (Emmanuel Audenaert - Belgium, Hatem Said - Egypt, Vikas Khanduja - United Kingdom, Peter Yau - Hong Kong, Patricia Fucs - Brazil, Eric Tortosa - Panama, and Ashok Johari - India) have worked extremely hard to produce a great programme. The format of this year’s Educational Day consists of short 10-minute lectures with case based discussions, interactive sessions and debates.
