After you finish your residency and fellowship and have been in practice for awhile, what is the best way to add new procedures to your practice? Also, can I have some examples of new procedures you’ve added to your practice after outside of what you learned in fellowship training?

Industry courses

Most things we do all build on the same skill set: sticking the correct place under fluoro

What about procedures like MILD, superion, intracept, etc?

Industry courses, mentors/colleagues that have different experiences. These vary greatly, but there are solid teachers that can build on a solid baseline skill set.

Intercept not much different than doing a kypho. Vflex uses some kypho skills too.

If you can do an implant and do a kypho well, then you have the basic skills needed to do any of the new procedures.

remember, more often than not, the doctors teaching the courses on the new procedures don’t have any experience either. They just have bigger egos and names than the people taking the course.
