India's FIRST ever SPINE BOOT CAMP was conducted in MGM resorts, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on 11 & 12 November 2017. Boot camp is a regimented military-style training, which has been translated to different areas of skills training. The methodology involves the transfer of information, experience, and wisdom from mentors to those seeking the unknown. The boot camp will add value by filling in the "gaps" that may exist in the knowledge that is not always attained during meetings, conferences, CME programs, cadaver or live surgery courses. This wealth of information has been put together by a group of experts, along with people in the industry, to enhance skills with precision and, therefore, to achieve improved knowledge.
