About

The course is performed at the ASSERT’s state-of-the-art medical simulation facility and will run in a simulated Interventional Radiology Suite environment using fresh frozen cadaveric specimens. The use of fresh cadaveric specimens allows for high fidelity simulated clinical practice. The course is limited to 12 places with participants rotating through 3 cadaveric stations and one neurointervention aneurysm and thrombectomy flow model session (3 at each station). This maximises intervention time for each participant and allows for one-to-one tuition from the expert faculty.

Uniformly excellent feedback from previous attendees.
