Dissection Courses
The fresh frozen cadavers are of exceptional quality. The cadaver dissections will be held at our Anatomy Skills Lab, located in the Stratenum in the UMC Utrecht. Many courses find themselves to be a course with a very full program without time to recreate or see the city. We pride ourselves, not only with an excellent content-related course, but with extra perks also: a course diner, if the weather allows it we arrange a boat ride through the canals of Utrecht, if you stay at the recommended hotel we offer a free taxi ride by one of our course-assistants (residents plastic surgery in training).
Upcoming plastic surgery course
Breast Reconstruction
Dear colleague,
We would like to welcome you to our Breast Reconstruction Fresh Frozen Cadaver Dissection Course in Utrecht, the Netherlands. We aim to provide you with the latest insights and tips and trics in the field of breast reconstruction. We have an esteemed faculty to guide you through the days: Prof. Van Landuyt, Dr Stillaert, Dr Tuinder and Dr. Van Huizum. During the day you are assisted by a ground faculty of experts from the Netherlands. During this course you learn the working horse and the pearls of breast reconstruction. Be quick to enroll because it has proven to be a popular course with a limited number of cadavers and thus a limited number of attendees.
We hope to see you this spring in the beautiful city of Utrecht, the Netherlands!
