Overview
The course will be four 3-day weekend sessions over the course of one year. Each weekend session will consist of pertinent lectures followed by demonstrations and subsequent mentored hands-on cadaveric experience. Each participant will have 2 fresh cadaveric specimens, thereby providing them with 4 joints each weekend on which to perform procedures. Faculty will be very engaged in one-on-one hands-on teaching and will be available throughout each entire session.
Our sponsors generously provide arthroscopic, total joint prostheses and arthroplasty materials and equipment for your use.
CE Credits
A total of 80 hours of Continuing Education Credits will be issued for all 4 sessions - 20 hours per weekend.
CE will be provided by the University of Maryland.
Schedule
Each session will take place on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday, starting at 8am on Friday and ending at 12 noon on Sunday.

Dr. Kelany,
You had requested information in May regarding our TMJ Mini Residency and have not heard from you since.
Can you confirm whether or not you are still interested in attending as we only take a limited number of participants each year
to maintain our one on one mentorship.
Please just let me know either way at your earliest convenience.
Thank you,
Scott
