Note: Tickets are required to attend. Add the Hands-on Skills Training to your SIR 2026 meeting experience during the registration process.

This hands-on skills training delivers practical training in bone and soft-tissue ablation, balloon-assisted fracture management, vertebral augmentation, infusion pumps, spinal instrumentation, and spinal cord stimulation. Through image-guided simulation and expert instruction, participants will strengthen procedural technique, device selection, and clinical decision-making across MSK and spine interventions.

Learning Objectives:

Analyze common MSK and pain indications to differentiate when to use ablation, balloons, pumps, screws, spinal cord stimulation, or vertebral augmentation.
Demonstrate proper image-guided technique to perform core MSK and pain interventions during hands-on stations.
Assess procedural outcomes and adjust device selection or technique to optimize safety and effectiveness across the included interventions.
