Orthopaedic Casting Workshops
The UNC Casting Workshop Series provides healthcare providers, clinical staff, and learners with practical skills related to the application and removal of casts in a state of the art facility on the main UNC-Chapel Hill campus. Each full-day session (8:00AM – 5:00PM, with a break for lunch) includes didactic learning and hands-on practicums. This is primarily a hands-on learning experience, and learners will spend most of the time casting and practicing their skills. UNC has partnered with the American Association of Orthopaedic Executives (AAOE). Using the AAOE extensive didactic library, learners will have access to didactic materials (for a discounted fee) that includes written manuals and videos to support learning.
