The following internationally renowned speakers will be involved with this event and are aiming their lectures and wetlabs at experienced general and advanced practitioners: Drs. Dominique Penninck (USA), Marimi (Maria) Soltero-Rivera (USA), Matt Read (USA) & Annick Hamaide (Belgium).
The Dinokeng Game Reserve is a malaria-free game reserve, 1 hours’ drive from Johannesburg International Airport. There the ‘Big Five’ (lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard & rhinoceros) roam wild and free in the 18,500-hectare game reserve. Bass fishing and the obligatory swimming pool will provide you with the ideal environment to relax with your friends and accompanying partner/guest. The lectures will be held at Mongena Game Lodge. Guest will be staying at the main lodge or at Little Mongena a short scenic drive from Mongena Game Lodge.
From Mon – Thu there will be a total of 4-5 hrs of sunrise- and sunset safaris per day and the lectures will be held between 10.15am – 3.30pm. Every day attendees can choose from several streams of highly illustrated lectures (in English) on a wide range of current imaging, orthopaedic, medical, oncolgic, ophthalmic & surgical topics. The evenings will be free for leisurely wining and dining, to meet up with old friends and to make new ones.
During the event open and frank discussions are encouraged and the speakers will share their personal experiences with attendees, be it successes or failures. There will be plenty of opportunities to discuss diagnostic/therapeutic strategies and cases with the speakers during the lectures or the dedicated case discussions.
The following topics will be covered:
- Dentistry
- Diagnostic Imaging (Abdominal Ultrasound, POCUS & Radiography/Radiology)
- Anaesthesia
- Soft Tissue Surgery
The final program will be confirmed soon.
On Friday there won’t be any lectures, which will allow attendees and their partners/guests to relax at the pool, go for a bush walk or go on a daytrip to explore this beautiful region.
