Dissection course for nurses, OTs and physiotherapists

A one-day course for nurses, occupational therapists and physiotherapists in Denmark and Sweden who work with hand trauma or hand disorders. The course has run since 2003 as a regional collaboration between Danish and Swedish institutions.

Sessions may also include prepared pre-dissected models and demonstrations of surface anatomy.
