Expand Your Arthroscopy Skills at a Course Provided by FORE

Arthroscopy Course

Attending an arthroscopy course provided by the Foundation for Orthopaedic Research and Education (FORE) is an ideal way to enhance your surgical skill set as you learn from some of today’s leaders in arthroscopic surgery.

Each arthroscopy course designed by FORE features a unique and highly engaging combination of session, including interactive discussion panels, didactic presentations, case studies, Q&As, and surgical demonstrations. You can also choose a course that features a hands-on component, such as bioskills labs, so that you can gain additional experience with emerging techniques and technologies.

Reasons to Attend a FORE Conference

By the end of a FORE arthroscopy course, you’ll be better equipped to:

  • Develop and implement evidence-based strategies for the arthroscopic treatment of shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle injuries
  • Determine which patients are good candidates for arthroscopic surgery and which patients would be better served by non-surgical therapies
  • Implement the latest strategies for improving patient outcomes while limiting complications
  • Provide comprehensive recommendations for postoperative rehabilitation
