What participants say about the course

Dr. Shoukat Ashiti, United Kingdom

I really enjoyed the course over the last two days. We discussed a lot of things, from the basics of facial trauma to complex cases, where we're going to discuss coronal flaps and management. I enjoyed the tips the speakers gave us.

We discussed the basics from history and examined very technical skills that can help to fix the fractures.

The mixture of the candidates was also good. There's different experiences of different knowledge and different countries. So, everyone discussed and explaining their approaches. It was good to learn from others and I definitely recommend the course. I will probably coming to another one in the future.

Drs. Alexander Drossaert, The Netherlands

I really like this course because it covers the basic principles of trauma. There were a lot of participants from all kinds of levels. The speakers started with the neutral treatment and assessment of the trauma patients and continued with teaching the principles of the management and the approaches to the different kinds of fractures of the mandible and the mid-face.

I especially liked that the speakers didn't just use PowerPoint to explain things to us but also gave tips and tricks for managing all these fractures. Following a hands-on workshop, all participants could use plates and screws to fixate all the problems with the fractures.

I really like this course because there are many participants from all nationalities, which opens your eyes to different approaches.

Nabaa Rafi Hanoun Sharba, Denmark

The best part of this course was the hands-on workshops, which helped me practice to get some fixation on the skull model. The workshops were combined with lectures, and the theory behind them was great.

Dr. Anthony MacKenzie-Gureje, United Kingdom

I chose to do the craniomaxillofacial trauma course because it's given me a lot of insight into what we do and why we do things within all the maxillofacial surgery.

These include fracture management, why we put plates, and where to put them. The course also gave me a good appreciation of soft tissues and how we manage patients in general.

It's been an amazing, well-structured course, and I would recommend participating to anyone.
