Medtronic Returns as Premier Sponsor for Spine IEP Fellows and Young Surgeons' Course

    SAN DIEGO, CA, November 17, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Spine fellows and young surgeons from leading spine centers and hospitals across the US will attend the 6th annual Spine IEP Fellows & Young Surgeons' Course, to be held in San Diego, CA, November 18-20, 2016. Medtronic Advanced Energy will return as the Premier Sponsor of the course, as it has done each year since the course's inception in November 2011.

The three-day course has been developed specifically to educate attendees on current topics, pertaining to the practice of spine surgery as well as to assist with the transition from academics to practicing surgeon. The course is also a valuable marketing opportunity for industry vendors, as it encourages relationships with spine and neurosurgeons in their early years of their education and practice.

Regarding Medtronic's return as the Premier Sponsor of the Spine IEP Fellows and Young Surgeons' Course, Hayley Cush, Principal Product Specialist at Medtronic, said that each year Medtronic sees an overwhelmingly positive response from the attendees. "Medtronic puts a high value on continued education and Spine Fellows represent our future; consequently we continue to support the Spine IEP program," Cush said.

The course, to be held at the Westin San Diego, is exclusively open to spine and neurosurgery fellows from the 2015/16 and 2016/17 academic years, and young surgeons within their first three years of practice.
