We are a member-oriented, member-driven organization it is the elected members (internally called offi cers) that lead and provide direction. Every AOSpine member is free to choose to actively participate and contribute to the atmosphere of collaboration, cooperation, and mentorship within AOSpine. It is through the AOSpine regional boards and the individual AOSpine country councils (which are the administrative teams for the AOSpine country chapters) that members have the opportunity to voice their concerns or suggestions directly to AOSpine. AOSpine can provide educational, research, consulting, and networking opportunities to enrich the knowledge and enhance the career of any spine surgeon. AOSpine invests in spine research and offers state-of-the-art training courses, as well as fellowship programs and congresses which augment a surgeon s knowledge of spine principles and techniques, and enabling him or her to establish and nurture professional relationships within their country and around the world. Our purpose and responsibility is to shape our members skills and understanding of spine principles; to establish new values and incentives for the creation of knowledge, the sharing of wisdom, and the development of new tools and techniques that improve patient care, patient outcomes, and the cost effectiveness of spine surgery.

4 4 AOSpine Principles Course, June 7 8, 2012, Lucerne, Switzerland Aim of the course The aim of this basic course is to give participants foundation practical skills on commonly performed tasks during posterior cervical thoracic and lumbar spinal procedures. Target participants This course is aimed at junior neurosurgical doctors as well as orthopedic surgical doctors with an established interest in spinal surgery. Spinal fellows at the beginning of their fellowship may also apply for this course. Course objectives At the end of this course participants should be able to perform in a structured stepwise manner: Midline posterior exposures of the spine as well as far lateral lumbar exposure. Posterior decompression of the spine including laminectomy and cross over decompression technique. Pedicle instrumentation of the thoracic and lumbar spine. Lateral mass screw insertion in the sub axial cervical spine. Course description This course is divided in two parts: The first part will consist of a half day lecture period which will lay the foundation theory for the practicals. During the second day, practical sessions will be arranged around eight cadaveric specimens with a maximum 3 participants per station. Table demonstrators will be closely involved in helping candidates achieving their educational goals.
