Why surgeons use us

Less searching.
More learning.

Course information is checked against the organizer’s official page, so you can compare confidently and register at the source.

✓

Primary source links

Every listing leads to the organizer, host institution, or a recognized society calendar.

⌖

Worldwide coverage

Discover relevant training beyond your usual societies and region.

≡

Details that matter

Compare format, level, price, CME, language, and hands-on access.

Plan with confidence

Choose the course that fits
your next clinical step.

A prestigious faculty is useful, but format, level, hands-on time, and total travel cost often determine whether a course is genuinely valuable for you.

01

Start with the skill gap

Search the procedure or problem you want to improve—not only the society or destination you already know.

Examples: instability · reverse TSA · elbow trauma
02

Match format and level

Choose cadaveric or hands-on training for technical practice, and congresses or masterclasses for broader updates and discussion.

Check faculty ratio · lab access · target audience
03

Verify before booking

Confirm availability, eligibility, language, CME, cancellation terms, visa timing, and the complete cost on the official page.

Registration always happens with the organizer
EDITORIAL METHODOLOGY

What “primary source” means.

We link to the organizer, host institution, or recognized professional society. Source verification is separate from accreditation, endorsement, patronage, and CME status—those are labeled only when the source states them.

Report a correction
Included

Courses, workshops, congresses, webinars, and skills labs with substantive shoulder or elbow education and a traceable organizer.

Checked

Dates, location, format, stated audience, published price, and registration path are reviewed against the source page.

Independent

A listing is not a clinical endorsement. Current editorial spotlights are unpaid and never change the verification standard.

Corrected

Organizers and readers can report changes. Material updates, cancellations, and broken links are prioritized in the next review.

Practical answers

Before you register.

ShoulderElbowCourses is an independent discovery directory. The organizer remains the source of truth for eligibility, payment, accreditation, and attendance.

Does “primary source” mean the course is endorsed?

No. It means the listing links to a source we can trace. ASES organization, SECEC patronage, CME, CPD, and other statuses are displayed separately only when explicitly stated.

Are prices directly comparable?

Not always. Prices may exclude tax, accommodation, specimens, or society membership. Currency and inclusions should be reconfirmed with the organizer.

Can international applicants attend?

Eligibility varies. Check the official page for licensing, trainee status, visa, language, and specimen-lab requirements before arranging travel.

How can an organizer add or correct a course?

Use the submission link below and include the official URL. Standard submissions are independently reviewed before inclusion.
