The orthopaedic medicine "3 step plan"
For what is concerned the execution of treatment and examination techniques we always follow the "3 step plan" :
first we explain the procedures through the powerpoint presentation
then a demonstration on film
followed by practical life demonstration on a colleague
Then sufficient time is provided for practical exercise. We promote regular exercise and partner change. Practice makes perfect !
Course days start at 09h00 and generally finish around 17h00 (modifications in schedule and timeset could slightly differ in relation to the size of the course groups or on specific demand)
