ONGOING WORKSHOPS

 

REGULATIONS FOR TEMPORAL BONE WORKSHOP

We have been conducting the Temporal Bone workshop since 1997 with wet bones provided by us for dissection. However, it is becoming increasingly difficult, if not impossible, for us to procure wet bones. So rather than stop the Workshop altogether, we have decided to continue the Workshops with the following modifications- We will continue to provide the infrastructure but the candidate will have to bring their own wet bones for dissection dissection by making their own arrangements.

We will provide all other facilities like:

1. Microscope
2. Microdrill
3. Set of micro instruments and the course will be co-ordinated by Prof.Mohan Kameswaran.

 

The course fee will be Rs.5000 /-

 

We are very sorry about this development but we have no alternative as we are unable to get wet bones.

 

Thank you for your understanding.

 

Yours truly,

 

Prof. R.S. Anand Kumar
Director- Academics
