Practical Course Regulations
1. Delegates registered for the practical workshops (WSD) will have to wear special badges at all times in the workshop area. Only delegates wearing workshop badges will be allowed inside the dissection hall by the security personnel.
2. Each dissection station will have 3 delegates. Peer cooperation is expected during dissection. All delegates must give equal dissection opportunity to fellow participants, and maintain the highest level of professionalism.
3. Each delegate will be allotted a table number and the candidate is expected to stick to the table earmarked for him/her. No intertable movement will be permitted. No exchange of instruments between two tables will be allowed
4. WSD are strongly recommended to review the surgical anatomy before attending, as it will greatly enhance their understanding of the surgical steps to be demonstrated by the faculty.
5. The same cadaver will be used for the entire workshop for each table. In case of damage to a cadaver, no fresh specimen will be provided.
6. Each table will have a microscope, endoscope, drills, irrigation system, and suction machines. Delegates are expected to begin dissection only once the tutor finishes dissection demonstration.
7. Delegates registered for plenary sessions only (PSD) are not permitted to enter the dissection area. Plenary sessions and case presentations with the faculty will be scheduled for PSD during dissection sessions.
8. Shoe covers, caps, masks, and gowns will be provided and must be worn at all times in the dissection area, and must be removed prior to exiting.
9. Each table will have an assistant to assist with instruments issued to that particular table at the beginning and end of workshop session.
10. In case of instrument breakage, the supervisor in charge of the particular table should be informed immediately.
11. Delegates are expected to finish the dissection in the time period marked. Working after the conference/workshop hours is strictly prohibited.
12. In the event of a violation of AANS CME rules/regulations, delegates will be debarred from the workshop and his/her place taken by a candidate on the waiting list.
