This Drylab course provides hands-on training in spinal instrumentation, focusing on pedicle screw and rod fixation using anatomical models. Under expert guidance from Balgrist University Hospital, residents practice implant placement, surgical approaches, and bone preparation, refining their techniques for clinical application.

To support preparation, all participants gain access to the Augmedi E-Learning platform upon registration. With photorealistic 3D models and an AI-powered learning engine, the platform helps deepen anatomical knowledge and track progress before the hands-on sessions.
