HANDS-ON TRAINING SESSIONS (HOTS)Monday 5th – Thursday 8th February 2018

Room 219Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre

Melbourne, Australia

The UIP 2018 Hands-on Training Sessions (HOTS) provide a structured comprehensive practical experience for physicians interested in venous disease.

The UIP 2018 HOTS will include 40 stations spanning over 4 days and 10 sessions. Each session is 120 minutes. There are 4 Stations per session. Each station is 25 minutes, repeated 4 times.

Each station is manned by at least one faculty member and one product specialist. This allows access to a non-biased presentation of the technology and direct access to highly experienced clinicians. The number of participants is limited to allow direct interaction with the instructors. Sessions are informal allowing a relaxed learning experience.

Each station may include presentations, live demonstrations, models and tools. The focus will be on hands-on training on procedures and devices.

Given the limited available spots and to ensure we maintain small numbers in each group, workshop allocations will be made on a first-in first-served basis.
