• This course has a good future ahead. I will definitely recommend it to my friends in our deanery.
• Excellent course, good ratio of faculty to attendees
• Excellent course. Would highly recommend to others.
• Excellent course because mentors had time to answer questions individually. May I suggest in future to include a talk focusing on terminology e.g. fixed bearing/mobility condylon/modular etc. Overall excellent course.
