The VISTA Institute Philosophy
We believe that the most important aspect of clinical practice is decision making. For that reason, continuing education courses aim to provide the most updated evidenced-based information. To elevate the clinical skills, each course offers simulated exercises and live surgery demonstration. This allows clinician-learners to grasp the information, practice the techniques and receive feedback. Moreover, clinician-learners observe the protocols demonstrated, so that they can more readily implement what they have learned in their clinical practice.
