AASPN Educational Course
The AASPN Educational Course (formerly the Asian Australasian Advanced Course in Paediatric Neurosurgery, AAACPN) was born of a vision to establish a worldwide course that would foster the development of paediatric neurosurgery through the education and training of residents and practicing neurosurgeons. Founded on the highly successful European Course, the AASPN Educational Course forms part of a cycle of courses held in each of the four main regions of the world - Europe, the Americas and Asia- Australasia. It has the endorsement of the World Federation of Neurological Surgeons and the International Society of Paediatric Neurosurgery.
The scientific program which covers the major fields in Paediatric Neurosurgery is divided into annual courses over a 3-year cycle, including didactic lectures, case based discussions and hands on components . During the course, a transfer of expertise between the teachers, regarded as leading experts in their scientific field, and the participants is actively promoted and encouraged.
Through the promotion of the course worldwide we hope to build a common spirit amongst neurosurgeons with paediatric neurosurgical interests, fostering the development of confidence, collaboration and progress.
Join us for a brighter future.
