Doha: Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) hosted the second Qatar orthopaedic review course, bringing together experts from across the world.
The course, organised by Bone and Joint Center in collaboration with the Department of Medical Education provided high quality education and training to orthopaedic residents, particularly those planning to take the upcoming board examinations.
“The course is an opportunity for residents preparing for Arab Board exams, examination for Fellowship of Royal College of Surgeons, England and Saudi and Jordanian boards
“It is also beneficial for orthopaedics seeking re-certification, or want to refresh knowledge and enhance practice,” said Dr Mohammed Al Khayarin, Senior Consultant, Orthopaedic Surgery Department, HMC.
Dr Abdulaziz Al Kuwari (pictured), Orthopaedic Spine Consultant, HMC, and member of the course organising committee, said they decided to hold the course following the success of the first one last year.
“By offering the course at HMC, we have made it possible for orthopaedic residents to benefit from it in Qatar instead of having to travel abroad.
“The course aims to raise standards of care in the region as it attracts residents and consultants from the region.
“Last year, we had 30 participants from Saudi Arabia and 10 from Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. I hope many more professionals will take advantage of the opportunity,” he said.
Orthopaedic residents, specialists and consultants in the region wanting to attend the course in future can email to orthoreview@hamad.qa. Details can be found on website http://qorc.hamad.qa/en/index.aspx.
