More than a decades and half of collaboration between the Department of Neuroradiology, University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland and Stroke & Neurointervention Foundation (SNIF) has been instrumental in imparting education and training in the practice of neurointervention as a subspecialty of cerebrovascular disease management. It has delivered its mission of imparting knowledge and understanding of cerebrovascular diseases and its management through various neurointerventional techniques in a rather unbiased manner and as a passionate approach.
The primary objective of this residential course is to learn and discuss anatomical, biological, embryological, phylogenetic and histogenetic aspects of various neurovascular diseases and build up a philosophy and knowledge base, a base on which new generation of neurointerventionist and neuroscientists continue to learn for the practice and advancement of research in neurointervention.
This course provides an opportunity to learn from the masters through their thought provoking lectures and in depth discussions on the intricacy and technical aspects of the Neurointervention practice. Generally the participants are from diverse fields of neurosciences including neurology, neurosurgery and neuroradiology making it an apt platform for a detailed discussion from different perspective.
To achieve an objective of giving a comprehensive and in depth view on the subject we carve the program and choose eminent, dedicated, and experienced faculty to deliver educational information and discuss with the participants through their vast experience of this filed. It proposes, a high quality of educational contents without binding on time in this course.
Course focuses on basic learning of disease pathophysiology, functional vascular anatomy, embryology, and Concept & Techniques of Neurointerventions.
The course participant number is limited to 60 on first come first serve basis.
Scientific work and case reports are invited by participants and are discussed and judged by the faculty for three best awards papers.
