Resident Courses 2025

Backed by the Department of Health of the Canton of Zurich and designed to complement the university curriculum, our courses offer hands-on training tailored to real-world surgical practice. Under the supervision of experienced surgeons from the University Hospital Balgrist (UKB), you will refine your techniques in both Dry- and Wetlabs, gaining practical experience in a state-of-the-art operating room setting.

To support your learning, all participants receive access to the Augmedi E-Learning platform after registration. This interactive tool enhances your anatomical knowledge through photorealistic 3D models and an AI-powered learning engine while allowing you to track your progress. Thanks to our collaboration with industry partners, you will also have the opportunity to work with the latest orthopedic instruments and cutting-edge surgical technologies.

All courses are accredited by Swiss Orthopaedics, with participants earning 2 ECTS credits upon successful completion.
