Dear participants, dear faculty

We cordially welcome you to the 5th edition of our Basel Elbow Course and to our beautiful city of Basel with one of the oldest medical faculties of the world. Our university just celebrated its 550th birthday in 2010.

Paracelsus and Vesal were two of the most reknown researchers and teachers of our faculty.

45 participants from 16 countries is a new record and we will strive to give our best to make this course as educational as possible. It is a great honor to work with our faculty of 20 from 6 countries among whom many stars of elbow surgery worldwide.

This course will focus on the interaction of the faculty with the participants and vice versa. Please ask your questions, your neighbour might have the same question. In elbow surgery, there are no “bad” questions!

We are also on social media: @baselelbowcourse on Instagram. Come and join us and share your thoughts and ideas with us using our hashtag #baselelbowcourse.

Let`s enjoy the 5th Basel Elbow Course!
