Welcome
Dear colleagues,
We are delighted to welcome you to Medical University Varna for the First Varna Foot and Ankle Course! This event promises to be an enriching experience, designed to comprehensively cover all aspects of modern foot and ankle surgery. Our target audience includes both orthopedic surgeons in training and specialists with a keen interest in this field.
The course features a lineup of esteemed lectures delivered by experienced orthopaedic surgeons from the Bulgarian Foot and Ankle Society (BGFAS), the Gesellschaft für Fuß- und Sprunggelenkchirurgie in Germany (GFFC), and the Balkan Foot and Ankle Society (BAFAS).
The course structure is organized into lectures focused on specific anatomical regions—hindfoot, midfoot, and forefoot—along with thematic sessions and practical workshops on sawbones. This format is designed to enhance your learning experience and provide hands-on skills that are essential in foot and ankle surgery.
Beyond the scientific program, Varna offers a vibrant cultural experience. Participants and accompanying members can explore the city’s rich history, enjoy shopping, savor delicious local cuisine, and relax on nearby beaches—all within a safe and welcoming environment.
We wish you an enjoyable and constructive meeting, filled with valuable insights and connections!
