Dear Colleagues and Friends,
We are delighted to invite you to the 3rd Deep Brain Stimulation and Neuromodulation Interventions Cadaver Course, taking place from May 25-28, 2025 in the enchanting city of Istanbul, Turkey. This prestigious event, accredited by the World Society for Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery (WSSFN), and the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS), promises to be an unparalleled educational experience for neurosurgeons, researchers, residents, neurologists, psychiatrists, and students.
Our cadaver course stands out due to its comprehensive focus on Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and all interventional neuromodulation approaches.
Our aim is to prepare this course as a foundational programme that encompasses every detail related to Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) and all interventional neuromodulation approaches. From the initial concepts to advanced techniques, we will ensure a thorough understanding of these methods, facilitating hands-on experience on cadavers that covers all critical aspects. Participants can look forward to engaging in in-depth discussions, practical demonstrations, and guided sessions that blend theoretical knowledge with hands-on application. This approach guarantees a rich learning experience led by some of the most distinguished experts from around the globe.
In addition to the cadaver course, we are excited to include the 4th Conference of MSSFN, directed by Prof. Walid Abdel Ghany, President of MSSFN. This dual-event registration allows participants to benefit from two highly valuable international congresses in one trip.
Our previous courses successfully brought together participants from 27 countries across 5 continents. Now, we invite you to join us in Istanbul, a city that beautifully merges two continents and embodies the spirit of a global city. The number of trainees per station will be strictly limited to ensure the highest quality of education.
We look forward to welcoming you to this exceptional event and witnessing the growth of your expertise in Neuromodulation.
Sincerely,
