The North American Skull Base Society (NASBS) has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Skull Base Summer Course, with the health and safety of all participants the top priority. In place of an in-person course, the NASBS is excited to announce a virtual skull base surgery course, taking place November 14-21, 2020. The course will feature Rhoton 3D anatomy sessions, video presentations, multi-disciplinary breakout rooms, and expert panel discussions with distinguished faculty. This course is not to be missed! Registration opening soon.
