International Vascular Cork Course 2024

The International Vascular Cork Course is brought to you by ASSERT Centre, College of Medicine & Health, UCC.

Participants will gain hands-on experience with one full day of open surgical dissection and reconstruction procedures on cadavers in our state-of-the-art surgical skills laboratory. The simulated operating rooms feature integrated audio-visual facilities to allow for real-time and post-procedure feedback from expert faculty.

The second day will comprise two modules (i) bench-based large and small vessel anastomosis skills, and (ii) teaching on Endovascular Aneurysm Repair simulators.

We will limit the numbers so that there will be a maximum of 2 participants per cadaver, with one-to-one tuition from the expert Faculty.

Pre-course reading material will be provided.
