On Thursday, May 31, an optional pre-course skills training session provides an opportunity to learn from the masters. Dr. Fu-Chan Wei as well as other world renown faculty demonstrate the latest techniques in reconstructive surgery. Participants perform cadaveric dissections in teams to practice demonstrated techniques. This unique program is held in Mayo Clinic’s state-of-the-art Procedural Skills Laboratory. Participants attending the pre-conference skills lab are encouraged to bring scrubs. There is an additional cost to participate in the pre-conference skills lab and space is limited.
