2nd BASEL Course (NEURO)

Beschreibung

The Rhino-Neuro-Otological Introductory Skull Base Course: We warmly welcome interested otorhinolaryngology and neurosurgery colleagues! In the general daily practice, and especially when being interested to deepen their knowledge for an intermodal collaboration, it might be difficult to get a starting point for their journey within this field. Therefore, the „Rhino-Neuro-Otological Introductory Skull Base Course“ in Basel (Switzerland) aims for an interdisciplinary exchange and hands-on program with great support from the Departments of Neurosurgery and Otorhinolaryngology (University Hospital of Basel and Kantonsspital Graubunden) and our industry partners. The historical venue of the Anatomical Institute of the University of Basel provides a warm and beautiful library for lectures, a modern anatomical dissection hall with cadaveric specimens and high-end infrastructure. There will be a 2:1 participant to anatomical specimen ratio. To maximize the educational value of the course, the course is limited to 14 active participants with a strong emphasis on close mentoring of the participants by the invited international and local expert faculty: International Faculty - Kumar Abhinav, MD, BSc (Hons), MBBS, FRCS (NEURO, University Hof Bristol, UK) - Warren Bennett, MD, FRCS (ORL-HRS) (ENT, University of Bristol, UK) - Prof. Marco Ferrari (ENT, University of Padova, Italy) - Prof. Vicknes Waran (NEURO, University of Malaya Medial Center, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) - Prof. Prepageran Narayanan (ENT, University of Malaya Medial Center, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) Local Faculty - Prof. Luigi Mariani (NEURO, University Hospital Basel, Basel, Switzerland) - Prof. Daniel Bodmer (ENT, University Hospital Basel, Basel, Switzerland) - Prof. Raphael Guzman (NEURO, Children’s and University Hospital of Basel, Basel, Switzerland) - PD Dr. Simona Negoias, MD (ENT, University Hospital Basel, Basel, Switzerland) - PD Dr. Christian Zweifel, MD (NEURO, Kantonsspital Graubünden, Chur, Switzerland) - PD Dr. Christian Meerwein, MD (ENT, Universitässpital Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland) - Prof. Dr. Gunesh Rajan (ENT, Kantonsspital Luzern) - PD Dr. Mahmoud Messerer (NEURO, University Hospital Lausanne) We aim to have 7 Otolaryngologists and 7 Neurosurgeons (14 participants in total), so that an interdisciplinary exchange and hands-on program is possible.
