OCULUS sponsors 13th European VitreoRetinal Training School 2014 for young surgeons

Subsidy for 10 participants from Africa available

OCULUS is proud to be a sponsor of the European VitreoRetinal Training School and therewith give young surgeons the opportunity to participate from the knowledge of highly experienced international surgeons. Young nascent vitreoretinal surgeons who have already performed a number of operations but have not yet reached expert status will derive maximum benefit.

The European VitreoRetinal Training School provides young vitreoretinal surgeons direct access to expert experience through lectures, discussion groups and live surgery. The 2-week high-intensity teaching course is held in Bremen, Germany, from 19th to 30th May 2014.

The course is covering all aspects of modern vitreoretinal surgery from instrumentation to complex and advanced methods. In a concentrated course with up to 50 participants it facilitates and promotes open discussion and a lively exchange of ideas and concepts. The European VitreoRetinal Training School provides highly experienced surgeons a forum to pass on their knowledge to a younger generation. In times when such surgeons tend to spend more and more time in the operating theatre, teaching needs to be given a forum.
