The objective of the <a href="https://efortnet.conference2web.com/#!courses" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Basic Science and Research Online Course</strong></a> is to provide the required basic and advanced knowledge and skills for the orthopaedic community.</p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Who should take the Online Course?</strong></span></p> <ul> <li>Residents and young specialists that require updated summarized concepts in orthopaedic basic science to prepare for exams (EBOT, national registration & other).</li> <li>Orthopaedic surgeons who plan to enter research.</li> <li>Young specialists, residents or specialists planning to start or participate in projects.</li> <li>Specialists screening new hypothesis to start new projects reviewing current state of the art and research opportunities</li> </ul> <p>Upon <a href="https://efortnet.conference2web.com/#!courses" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>mandatory registration</strong></a> (free-of-charge), course participants will receive online lectures and material on the following curriculum topics.</p> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Course Modules</span></strong></p> <p>The course is divided into two separate modules:</p> <ul> <li><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Module 1</span></strong><br />Study Design (RCT Planning and Implementation) and Biomechanics, Engineering Biomaterials (Kinematics)</li> <li><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Module 2</strong></span><br />Fundamentals of General Orthopaedic Science including: <ul> <li>Risk Factors and Genetics.</li> <li>Osteonecrosis of the Femoral Head: From Investigations to Diagnosis.</li> <li>Orthogeriatrics: Management of Elderly Patients with Fragility Fracture</li> <li>Tumours.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Progress and Learning assessment</span></strong></p> <ul> <li>MCQ assessment will be conducted at the end of each module to assess the learner’s progress within each module.</li> <li>Progress can be saved on presentation level, meaning that once the learner has completed one presentation, it will be saved, and the learner can come back to the module within 1 week to continue the course.</li> <li>All presentations within a module need to be watched before the learner can move on to the MCQ assessment at the end of each module.</li> <li>The learner will have three attempts to pass the assessment.</li> <li>Only when the MCQ assessment has been passed, the learner can continue with the next module.</li> </ul> <p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Course Certificate</span></strong></p> <p>The course will be awarded with an <strong>EFORT certificate</strong> after successful completion of all modules.</p> <p><a href="https://efortnet.conference2web.com/#!courses" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img loading="lazy" class="aligncenter
