Lecture
by Luminary Physicians
Lab instructors are selected from a palate of lifelong-earned career relationships and are matched to topics based on experience and practice. They take time to explain how the procedure works, their actual patient experiences, and prognosis for successful outcomes. All attendees are encouraged to join these discussions and ask questions.
Procedure Lectures
From the moment you step into the O.R., our instructors immerse you in procedure protocol. Each physician is given the opportunity to watch our luminaries work, then attempt procedures themselves under the careful supervision of the instructor.
Product Lectures
The lectures offer decades of experience coupled with in-depth device knowledge. Our instructors are typically lifelong Epimed customers, and they’ve got actual experience using Epimed products.
Reimbursement Lecture
Racz Lab provides vital information about coding and billing, payer policies, and practice management. Learn about practice marketing and building coalitions with societies to secure the long-term acceptance of the power of interventional pain medicine.
Cadaver Training
At each lab, Racz cadaver training is the centerpiece of the event. Just like we seek out and utilize the best materials for our products, we strive to acquire the best specimens for our instructors and attendees. Racz Lab uses cadavers to provide a realistic training environment.
Didactic Training
The Lab features and introductions to procedures (led by instructors) prior to any lab work. Instructors provide attendees with a solid academic briefing, encouraging feedback and interaction from the group.
Constructive Feedback
Attendees continue to praise the cooperative and supportive nature of instructors on Racz Lab post-event surveys. We hand select instructors known for patience and openness.
Pain Physicians all over the world have attended Racz Lab to learn or expand their interventional pain skill set under the instruction of Racz workshop physicians. From beginners to advanced skill levels, Racz Lab engenders a healthy and open environment for attending physicians. Our guests learn each phase of a selected procedure from a luminary pain physician and are encouraged to then practice with one-on-one guidance.
