Description
Movora Education is pleased to present the Universal Hip™ workshop.
Developed in cooperation with experienced industry-leading surgeons, during this two-day workshop participants will learn proper technique for use of the BioMedtrix Universal Hip System.
Workshop Objectives
Participants will learn proper technique for use of the Universal Hip system, focusing on preoperative planning, surgical technique, and clinical follow-up, with opportunity to use the instruments to gain an understanding of the surgical objectives.
Online Course
In order to maximise the hands-on learning of laboratory exercises, the BioMedtrix® Universal Hip™Online Course Path was developed to provide educational reference material and resources. Consisting of reading assignments, visual aids and videos, self-assessment activities, and moderated discussion forums, BioMedtrix online courses are designed to enhance a participating surgeon’s understanding of the material and reinforce the learning process. Completion of the online material is required for surgeons to be prepared to participate in the hands-on laboratory exercises. The BioMedtrix® Universal Hip™Online Course Path is provided for free for workshop participants. After registration, you will be automatically enrolled in the online courses.
Product Mentorship
Surgeons who have completed a BioMedtrix workshop may choose to participate in the Product Mentorship Program. This program incurs additional costs and is designed to support new total joint replacement surgeons as they progress beyond attendance at a total joint replacement workshop, towards performing clinical total joint replacement procedures. Surgeons who complete this program will have demonstrated an understanding of the concepts necessary for successful clinical results. The program offers three potential pathways to practice the procedure, gain confidence, and validate a surgeon’s comprehension of the concepts required for successful clinical results. One of the following three evaluation pathways may be selected: Wet Lab, Surgeon Assist, or Mentor. Completion of the Mentorship Program is a required process prior to purchasing implants from BioMedtrix for total joint systems. The Product Mentorship Program is offered for both Universal Hip Standard and Large Breeds and Small Breeds Hip systems.
Target Audience
This is for veterinary surgeons who have experience in a wide range and knowledge of orthopedic techniques.
