Hello and welcome!

On behalf of Dannemiller, I am pleased to announce that registration is now open for our Hands-on Cadaver Course: Interventional Pain Management Techniques Using Fluoroscopic Guidance and Ultrasound. This one-and-one-half day, hands-on workshop is designed specifically for M.D. or D.O.’s who would like to augment their knowledge of minimally invasive techniques for comprehensive pain management.

Approved for a maximum of 15.25 AMA PRA Category 1 CreditsTM, the course will be held at the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas, November 6-7, 2010, and includes such diverse topics as a sympathetic, lumbar, and ultrasound-guided blocks; intrathecal pump and spinal cord stimulator implantation and cooled radio frequency ablation. Participants will also have the opportunity to ask questions and perform free explorations as they learn from esteemed experts in the areas of pain management.

I hope you will join us for this intensive and unique learning experience. Registration is limited to 50 participants.
