The NSpine Arosa Winter Masterclass - an exceptional event

The NSpine Masterclass is a highly exclusive case discussion forum, bringing together leading experts to engage in thought-provoking debates on complex clinical scenarios. Known for its dynamic and interactive format, the Masterclass fosters a collaborative atmosphere where senior clinicians and opinion leaders exchange insights, challenge perspectives, and refine their approaches to spine care.

Each Masterclass offers 12 hours of CME-accredited sessions, carefully balanced with dedicated time for informal networking and business meetings.

With a strictly limited attendance of 30 participants, the event ensures meaningful engagement and high-quality discussions.

The programme centres on four primary entities—Trauma, Tumour, Deformity and Minimally Invasive Degenerative Challenges—each explored within one of three thematic sessions: Emergencies & Urgencies, Reconstructive Challenges and Revisions & Complications. While these themes provide the core framework, case discussions may expand to any area of interest, with particular emphasis on complex subspecialty scenarios.
