Testimonials

I had a great 3 days (radio telemetry) course and learned a lot. I would really hope to be able to come for the microsurgery and experimental technique course at some point in the future.

Alan McCarthy, UK

It is a very professionally run course with a nice balance between theory and practice with the focus on the practical work.

Prof. dr. Michael Axelsson, Sweden

“I recently completed the Glucose Clamp Course at the RRSSC and can highly recommend it. Although I began with limited experience in this specific technique, the comprehensive 7-day program thoroughly prepared me to independently perform the associated surgical procedures. In addition to its specialised focus on carotid and jugular vein catheterisation, the course provides an excellent foundation in fundamental surgical practices, including aseptic techniques and anaesthesia.”

Mathias, Denmark

I participated in the December 2023, 5-day Module B, Microsurgical and Experimental Techniques course intending to learn how to perform one of the most difficult surgeries in small rodents. As a total beginner, I had very low expectations for my performance in this training. However, in only 5 days I gained both theoretical and practical knowledge for microsurgeries, knots, anesthesia, and anatomy, which in my mind I expected to take months or even a whole year to obtain. I actually managed to p… Read more

I will recommend these courses to everybody who wants to learn all about microsurgery.

Pernille Lyderik, Denmark

The structure of the course is well balanced between theory and practice. The course is very flexible organised, in such a way that the instructors are trying to adapt it to you.

I recently attended a Microsurgical Course run by Professor René Remie at the Surgical Skills Centre in Almere Stad, Netherlands where I received first class training in microsurgical techniques performed on the Rat using a Leica Microscope. The operating station was set up to a high quality and there were many books and papers available for reference. I was initially trained on a ‘Latex rubber’ Rat complemented with lectures received in the morning each day on all other subjects relevant t… Read more

Hazel Smulders, United Kingdom

The two things that become immediately apparent when following one of Prof. Remie’s courses on experimental microsurgery is his quiet passion for the best possible quality of work and his constant insistence on ”goal orientation”. Later, the participant realizes that this gentle perfectionism roots in a wide-ranging knowledge of anatomy, practical experiences with various animal models, comparative physiology, and anaesthesiology. His teaching can be described as ”interactive ex-cathedra… Read more

Piet Boels, Stockholm

I have never attended a training course where I felt more welcome, nor had my needs catered for so perfectly. The course truly was tailor-made to the specific procedures I needed to learn whilst providing a solid grounding in the basics so that I can advance and refine my own work in the future. The training team was most generous with their time and expertise. Rene’s experience is invaluable; I left with far more knowledge, understanding, and skill than I ever expected to obtain in 5 days –… Read more

University of Cambridge, UK

Prof Remie’s insulin clamp course was excellent and really surpassed my expectations. In short I left feeling fully prepared to set up the technique in my home lab. This has been borne out with early surgical success (in terms of catheterisation) and enough know how to begin to run the clamp experiments themselves. The two course leads provide an incomparable set of skills. Prof Remie lends his years of knowledge and expertise in the surgical techniques (bilateral carotid and jugular indwellin… Read more
