Our Tutors
Expertise Meets Commitment. In our more advanced courses, such as Module 3: Anastomosis Course, we are proud to be supported by a team of highly experienced surgical professionals. Our tutors include senior consultants and department heads all of whom generously share their extensive clinical knowledge and surgical expertise.
They work closely with participants throughout the practical sessions – from the first suture to a completed anastomosis – offering hands-on guidance and invaluable insights drawn from decades of operating room experience. Whether it’s choosing the right materials, perfecting suturing techniques, or refining surgical strategy, their calm, competent presence creates an environment where focused learning and collegial exchange thrive.
This direct mentorship by seasoned specialists makes the course a truly unique experience and reflects our core mission:

Partners
A heartfelt thank you goes to our partners in industry and practice who continuously support us in organizing our courses. Whether it’s suture material, surgical instruments, or specimens like bovine intestine – our hands-on training would not be possible in this quality without their generous collaboration. Companies such as Medtronic, Johnson & Johnson, and local businesses like Fleischerei Derntl in Leonding regularly provide materials and contribute significantly to the success of our teaching.
Their support allows us to create realistic training environments and offer participants the best possible preparation for real-world surgical practice.
