OUR PROGRAMMES

WELCOME TO THE PROGRAMME

Medtronic is a leader in innovative solutions for spine surgery. We partner with recognized faculties in Europe to design and deliver programs aimed at continuously developing surgeon’s skills for better patient outcomes and drive best practices to tackle your day to day surgical challenges.

Our learning pathway dedicated to spine surgeons is delivered through a blended learning approach with formats such as accredited e-learning modules, didactic lectures, webinars, interactive discussions, anatomical workshops, surgical observation and virtual reality. Topics are proficiency based thereby tailored to surgeon’s experience levels from Fundamental to Advanced including Specialized and pathology focused.

All medical education events we are organizing, will give you the opportunity to learn and practice with our latest enabling and surgical technologies solutions. Highly recognized experts involved in each training session will demonstrate these technologies during dedicated anatomical sessions.

To enroll in our Medical education program, we offer interested surgeons the opportunity to discuss with their Medtronic representative to select the appropriate program based on learning objectives and needs.

We hope you enjoy your chosen programme and find it useful, fruitful and rewarding.

Kind regards, Medtronic Spinal Medical Education Team
