The Osler Institute utilized state of the art equipment to record our Live November 2018 comprehensive Thoracic Surgery Review Course and bring it to you! These Video/Audio files are stored “in the cloud” so you can stream them anywhere, anytime, as long as you have an internet connection, watch or listen to on your phone, computer – your learning experience is almost like being at the live activity, but without travel costs and time away from your practice. Included with each online review is a downloadable copy of the syllabus that corresponds to the Video/Audio lectures for your use while viewing or as a free-standing study or clinical practice guide.

This comprehensive review is designed to update your clinical knowledge-base as well as to help you pass your Thoracic Surgery exams. Emphasis is on evidence-based medicine and board relevant standards of care, incorporating current best practice concepts, surgical approaches, and clinical follow-up strategies. As a result, this course provides a good review for your ABTS exams as well as providing a thorough review for physicians in practice. Many of our previous participants found the course provided them with: improved diagnostic and planning strategies, a better understanding of the best surgical and non-surgical treatment approaches for the principal areas covered by Thoracic Surgeons and helped them recognize areas of weakness for further study.
