AAOS Fundamentals of Knee & Shoulder Arthroscopy for Orthopaedic Residents

Speaker: Gregg T. Nicandri, MD, FAAOS, FAOA, Course Director

Gregg T. Nicandri, MD, FAAOS, FAOA: I'm Gregg Nicandri, professor of orthopedic surgery at the University of Rochester Medical Center. I subspecialized in sports medicine.

Douglas A. Evans, MD, FAAOS: Hi, I'm Doug Evans from Loyola University. I'm one of the course directors for this year's fundamentals of knee and shoulder arthroscopy course with Dr. Gregg Nicandri. We've got a great course planned for you with tons of hands on time with the cadavers and a wonderful, wonderful faculty coming from across the country. So please join us in September.

Gregg T. Nicandri, MD, FAAOS, FAOA: The best way to learn surgical technical skills is by actually performing surgery with your hands on the instruments. And that's exactly what you'll get at the fundamentals of knee and shoulder arthroscopy course for residents where you'll spend the vast majority of your time in the lab, performing simulated surgeries on cadaveric specimens.

Douglas A. Evans, MD, FAAOS: Residents who attend this course leave with a great deal more confidence with their arthroscopic skills in the knee and shoulder.

Gregg T. Nicandri, MD, FAAOS, FAOA: The feedback that we get from residents after attending this course is that they thought it was fun that it was intense and that it was highly valuable in helping them improve their surgical skills. And that's what keeps me coming back every year as an instructor. And it's really why I think we do such a good job filling this, this course, year after year after year.

Douglas A. Evans, MD, FAAOS: I hope you can join us in September for the fundamentals of knee and shoulder arthroscopy course.

Gregg T. Nicandri, MD, FAAOS, FAOA: We really hope to see you in September at the fundamentals of knee and shoulder arthroscopy course for residents.
