SCS Advanced Skills Certificate

SCS Advanced Skills Certificate of Attendance

This SCS certificate program is designed for physicians looking to solidify their spinal cord stimulation (SCS) knowledge-base and technical skills and learn operational efficiencies that will help them in their practice.

To earn the certificate, participate in a three-station advanced cadaver program at the NANS cadaver lab in Orlando, FL on January 30, 2025. Under the guidance of experienced faculty, program participants will practice lead placement, suturing/anchoring, and pocketing/tunneling. They will receive an assessment from faculty on the performance to help shore up their skills. Participants complete an online evaluation, and take an online quiz that assesses their areas of strength and weakness. Upon completion of these items, participants will be issued a certificate of attendance.

When and Where: Thursday, January 30, 2025 at the AdventHealth Nicholson Center in Orlando, FL.
The time commitment in the cadaver lab is expected to be about 90 minutes.
