Dear Orthopaedic Residents,

It is a great pleasure to announce this year’s 2nd Canadian Orthopaedic Resident Review in Reconstructive Surgery (CORR-RECON). The CORR-RECON course will be held at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel, Toronto Airport, in Mississauga, Ontario from January 17th to 19th, 2012.

The CORR-RECON course is designed to provide orthopaedic residents with a comprehensive review of orthopaedic surgery. The 3-day course will cover aspects of orthopaedic surgery over five topic areas: Upper Extremity, Foot and Ankle, Hip and Knee, Spine Reconstruction, and Tumours. The course will include lectures based on a “Top 10 Things You Need to Know” format, which are highlighted by interactive panel discussions. The course also includes small breakout case-based learning sessions. The small group scenario sessions will yield a high faculty to participant ratio, which will create a dynamic learning environment. Sessions will be delivered by our highly regarded faculty, which has been compiled with representatives from universities across Canada. Accordingly, sections of this course will be offered in both English and French.

In addition to the topic-oriented sessions, the CORR-RECON course offers the opportunity for orthopaedic residents to partake in a mock oral examination within an Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) style format at the conclusion of the course. This optional post-course examination will also include immediate feedback provided by our renowned faculty members. We strongly believe that this program will give participants a comprehensive review of the relevant knowledge in orthopaedic surgery.

The CORR-RECON course is available to orthopaedic residents at three different levels. The gold level includes participation in the 3-day course, all course materials, an OSCE style examination with feedback, and access to online cases and the additional OSCE examination questions. The silver level includes participation in the 3-day course, all course materials, and an OSCE style examination with feedback. The bronze level includes participation in the 3-day course and all course materials. Please note that these levels are fixed and access to the online cases and additional mock OSCE examination questions is only available through a Gold level registration. Registration fees for the three levels are available on the registration form to follow.

Registration is now open and available online at the course website: www.cmecourses.ca. We encourage you to register early, as space is limited. Our Course Coordinator is available to assist you with all aspects of the registration process. Please feel free to contact the Course Coordinator at 289-337-0857 or by email at coordinator@cmecourses.ca. We have included a registration form and additional course information in this brochure.

We offer you a very warm invitation to attend the CORR-RECON course in January 2012.
