This May, the Brain Science Foundation is proud to co-sponsor The Master Class: Endoscopic Anterior Skull Base Surgery with Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Led by world-renown pituitary expert and longtime Brain Science Foundation collaborator Edward R. Laws, Jr., MD, FACS, the course provides the opportunity for surgeons to learn the endoscopic techniques that he and his team at BWH use to treat pituitary tumors.
We are pleased to offer CME credits for this course.
The Master Class gives neurosurgeons from around the globe the opportunity to learn specialized techniques using the most up to date technology. In addition to didactic lectures on peri-operative management, surgical anatomy, techniques, and complication management, the course features live operations simulcast from the operating room to the lecture hall, including 3-D displays. Attendees have the opportunity to interact with the surgeons in the OR throughout the case.
Dr. Laws and his team have assembled a world-class group of speakers for the program:
