About ICC
ICC (Instructional Certification Course) Simultaneous interpretation will be provided. (English – Korean)
At the congress you will also get the opportunity to take one of the instructional certification courses (ICC) for medical doctors and physiotherapists. The one-day training courses are designed to teach you the basics of technology, indications, contraindications, and practical application of ESWT and radial pressure waves (RPW).
The courses are taught by high-ranking international shock wave masters who will share their knowledge and experience regarding ESWT at the congress. The course for physiotherapists and medical technical assistants is focused on the use of radial pressure waves (RPW), and the course for physicians covers not only RPW, but also ESWT. Each participant should take the final test after taking the courses. Simultaneous interpretation is provided for some sessions.
You can select the ICC when registering for the congress. If you register for both the ICC and the congress, the registration fee of the ICC will be discounted as follows.
