The EUROSPINE EduWeek is designed to support spine surgeons at every stage of their professional journey, enhancing their ability to deliver exceptional care to patients while advancing their own expertise and confidence.

For those at the beginning of their career, the Basic Comprehensive Course provides a strong foundation in essential principles, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills needed to approach spine surgery with competence and precision.

As surgeons progress, modules on Degenerative Diseases of the Spine, Spinal Deformities, Trauma, and Tumours and Inflammatory Diseases of the Spine offer deeper insights into diagnosing, managing, and treating complex conditions, enabling them to refine their practice and improve outcomes for their patients.

For experienced professionals seeking to address the most challenging cases, advanced modules on Extended Indications and Advanced Operative Techniques and Revisions and Complications Management focus on advanced surgical methods and strategies for managing complications, empowering surgeons to tackle demanding situations with greater confidence.

Beyond surgical training, EduWeek also includes the EUROSPINE Research Course, designed for spine care professionals looking to strengthen their research skills. This structured, blended-learning course provides participants with the tools to develop high-quality, relevant, and publishable research projects. By combining e-learning, interactive online sessions, and an in-person workshop at IRCAD, Strasbourg, this course equips participants with the methodologies needed to contribute meaningfully to spine research.

In addition, the Endoscopy Course further enhances EduWeek’s educational offering by providing hands-on training in minimally invasive spinal endoscopy techniques. Led by experienced faculty, this course enables surgeons to develop the skills necessary to integrate endoscopic approaches into their practice, improving patient outcomes and recovery times.

EduWeek is not only held on-site in Strasbourg but is designed to combine multiple learning methods for a flexible and effective educational experience. All modules are composed of asynchronous e-learning sessions and virtual live sessions, both of which are compulsory to attend.

This comprehensive programme not only supports surgeons in providing better care for their patients but also promotes personal and professional growth at every level of their career.
