Humanitas University will host, from 2 to 6 July 2018, the third edition of the FORTE Summer School, organized by the same FORTE (Federation of Orthopedic Trainees in Europe), a youth branch of the European Federation of National Associations of Orthopedics and Traumatology (EFORT).
As Dr. Tommaso Bonanzinga, specialist of the Centre for knee reconstruction in Humanitas and FORTE President, explains: “The FORTE Summer School is a training session dedicated to European specialists and new orthopedic specialists (the so-called trainees, under the age of 40) in which all the issues related to orthopedics are re-examined.
The course is not only an opportunity for study, but above all offers a favorable context for a comparison and exchange of experiences, to discuss clinical cases and create a network between participants and teachers”.
Objectives of FORTE Summer School
From basic to pediatric orthopedics, orthopedics of the spine, elbow and shoulder, as well as the hand and wrist, hip, knee, foot and ankle. Part of the work will also be dedicated to the oncological field, with bone and soft tissue cancers, for example.
Two different courses are envisaged: a basic course for young people and an advanced course to prepare for the European Examination (EBOT).
“The course sees an important international faculty and aims not only to harmonize the preparation of young European orthopedists, but also to ensure all trainees a high level of training, regardless of their country of origin. Humanitas University is the ideal place to host the FORTE Summer School thanks to the 20,000 square meters of Campus, with the latest generation Simulation Center and spaces for individual study and comparison in groups,” said Dr. Bonanzinga.
