SICOT Training Manual

Maps and guides are essential to all who seek destinations, who know where they want to go but who need help to get there. All trainees determined to become successful surgeons need similar maps in the form of educational objectives which will help them reach their destinations. Maps, as with educational objectives, must be kept up-to-date when necessary, as new knowledge becomes available. SICOT is dedicated to the improvement of orthopaedic surgery throughout the world. The most certain way of achieving its goal is to help in the education of surgeons.
