List subject to changes The final Davos courses list as well as worldwide courses lists will be available on wwwaotraumaorg in January 2016
Course structure This five-day Masters level course comprises thirty-day modules running simultaneously Participants will choose their own program by selecting one of six tracks Each track has three core 1-day modules that are related to a common subject topic The participants also choose two other topics from a list of 1-day modules provided on the two other days (ie self-directed learning days)
Goal of the course The goal of this course is to address state-of-the-art clinical techniques and best practices at a masters level and increase your knowledge and skills New surgical approaches current treatment methods and the management of complications will all be addressed at a high level Our goal is to foster discussion making use of real cases and encouraging open discussions between participants and faculty members
Target participants Participants must have completed the AOTrauma Basic Principles and Advanced Principles courses They must be actively involved in orthopedic trauma management and preferably have at least five years of experience post residency in trauma surgery To optimize the educational experience for all participants must be willing to share their ideas get involved and communicate well in English
Learning objectives At the end of this course participants will be able to
Apply knowledge of soft tissue anatomy to patients with soft tissue injuries
Perform simple flaps for soft tissue injuries
Provide expert advice about limb salvage versus amputation
Describe current prosthetic choices
Perform as a member of the trauma team understanding the role of orthopedic surgery in the context of
the whole patient
Course description This course is targeted at experienced surgeons willing to share and express their experiences with other participants and specialists in the field The Current Concepts modules address the latest techniques and best practices in operative fracture management and deal with the most difficult orthopedic trauma problems The course includes open group discussions moderated by experts in the field who will provide an overview of the current literature and knowledge on each topic Best evidence will be presented using cases and summary lectures You will have the opportunity to express your preferred treatment methods for particular problems and we encourage open discussions between participants and faculty This course is designed to update practicing orthopedic surgeons who regularly treat trauma patients on current
concepts of polytrauma management limb salvage and amputation Additionally it is designed to teach orthopedic
surgeons the fundamentals of soft tissue management including simple flaps The goal is to elevate the level of
care provided to trauma patients by increasing the knowledge and skill of orthopedic surgeons so that they are
equal partners working with the trauma team on polytrauma patients
