Objective
European Paediatric Orthopaedics Society (EPOS) proposes four events as an educational programme for young physicians who are keen to specialize in paediatric orthopaedics and trauma. Each event comprises of five-day courses to be held over a period of approximately two years in internationally highly respected paediatric orthopaedics centres. The events are designed to fill the need for a standardized, high-quality European training and scientific research in paediatric orthopaedics, and aim to enhance the exchange of knowledge and experience and to deepen the cooperation between European orthopaedic surgeons for the benefit of disabled children, increasing as well the participation of women and of researchers from less-favoured regions of the EC and Associated Countries.
The courses will be hosted by three EC member states and one associated state: Austria (Orthopaedic Hospital Vienna - Speising), Finland (ORTON Orthopaedic Hospital - Helsinki), France (Hopital de la Timone Enfants - Marseille) and Israel (Tel Aviv University, Dana Children's Hospital - Tel Aviv). The participants form a geographic trapezium that unites four parts of Europe, respectively: North, South-East, South-West and East / Middle East. The EPOS Training Courses will take part in Vienna in January 2008, in Helsinki in July 2008, in Tel Aviv in January 2009 and in Marseille in July 2009. The courses form a comprehensive coverage of the field of paediatric orthopaedics and trauma, such as upper/lower limbs deficiencies, spine deformities, cerebral palsy, tumours, and bone dysplasias.
Through frontal lectures, group discussions, and live demonstrations of state-of-the-art treatment of musculoskeletal problems, workshops and hands-on sessions, the courses will achieve the transfer of knowledge from worldwide renowned specialists to young researchers. At the end of the four training courses, the eligible participants will be able to identify, diagnose and manage paediatric orthopaedic conditions.
