HMC Orthopedic department holds 4th review course

The 4^th Qatar Orthopedic Review Course is currently being held by Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) at its Hajar Auditorium at HMC's Education Center and will run until 12 January 2017. The course aims to raise the standard of education in the region by bringing together international faculty as well as orthopedic healthcare professionals. 

It will provide residents, specialists and consultants with an exclusive learning opportunity to delve into important orthopedic topics related to foot and ankle, pathology and basic science, spine, pediatric orthopedics, sports orthopedics, adult reconstruction and trauma. 

"This event will help residents in the region to receive the highest level of education and provides a stage to receive the latest orthopedic training from local and international healthcare practitioners," said Dr. Mohammed al Khayarin, Senior Consultant, Orthopedic Surgery at HMC. 

"We provide state-of-the-art-information in the field of orthopedics to healthcare practitioners, ensuring at the same time that this is reflected in the high-quality care they provide to patients," Dr. Khayarin added. 

Around 200 course participants will engage in intensive, examination focused review sessions that are consistent with the orthopedic board exam. Although the course is designed for senior orthopedic residents preparing to take a board exam, other orthopedists who would like to revise their orthopedic knowledge are also attending.  This course is an Accredited Group Learning Activity Category 1 as defined by the Qatar Council for Healthcare Practitioners.

"This course aims to make it convenient for orthopedic residents to be able to get the required high quality training and knowledge within the country and also to take their board exam," said Dr. Mazin Abdulaziz Alsadig, Orthopedic Resident and Course Committee Organizer.

“Today, the Qatar Orthopedic Review Course is well known across the region and we are delighted that previous delegates are joining us again.” he added.
