International Surgeons Course

Thank you for sharing your personal experience along with detailed literature during these weeks of lecture. I definitely appreciated all classes and topics brought in the discussion board and was quite amazed to see how surgical technic progressed from the 80s. Seeing videos of cochlear endoscopy with laser was fantastic.

I would like to thank you for all the knowledge and experience you shared with us the last several weeks. It was really a great honor and pleasure for me to learn from you. And I really learnt a lot. For every CI candidate and in every CI implantation now I recall your advice. For me the last 14 weeks have been a wonderful journey in Cochlear Implants from A to Z.

Many thanks to the entire team of the professionals who make the dissemination of this course possible , especially to DR BALKANY in whom I GREATLY appreciate his clear diction English. IT HAS BEEN very useful for me to have a study guide on the most relevant topics and above all I AM GRATEFUL for those small and very important tips that clarified issues thah seemed difficult to understand in a few moments.

I wish to thank you greatly for taking me through this course ,sharing your knowledge and experience with us from basis to advanced level of cochlear implantation I am grateful for this as it has given me a good path to follow to develop myself as an implant surgeon and putting up a successful.and well informed program in Nigeria.

A meticulous, well designed course by the leaders in the field of CI. The range and depth of topics by experts are invaluable to any budding Implant otologist.

Thank you Prof. Balkany for this very unique and special course. This course went into topics that are mostly ignored including the core electrophysiologic basis of implants. The time devoted to audiology and basics of candidacy were also very appreciated. I think a course like this should be required of any implant surgeon.

The ICIT course was a great experience for me. Initially, I thought it’s too early in my carrier for this course. But your kind words of encouragement have ignited my interest in this field. It means a lot to me, and I would definitely live up to the expectations. I was indeed very fortunate to be a part of the course.

The ISC provides excellent evidence-based teaching of the concepts and skills of cochlear implantation in a systematic and comprehensive manner. It has greatly expanded my knowledge base and understanding of cochlear implantation. It was a great privilege to participate in the course and to be taught by leading experts in the field.

The ICIT International Surgeons Course … is an opportunity to update knowledge with a great faculty, sharing experiences with colleagues and learning pearls of wisdom that will impact daily practice. I strongly recommend it

I was privileged to be a part of this course and recommend it to any ENT surgeon wanting to pursue a career in otology. Thank you for the comprehensive description of the hook area, the insertion vectors and the Central Auditory System.

Thank you sir it's been a great honor to learn from you. I have learnt a lot from all the knowledge and experience you and entire team have shared with us. Thank you very much to starting such a programme to encourage us in improving our knowledge and skills.

I have found ICIT course to be a wonderful opportunity for cochlear implant surgeons started their carrier as well as those surgeons who have been doing implants for some time and want to improve their skills. Starting from the web classes which are very well organized in terms of content and delivery to the temporal bone lab., everything adds something to your knowledge and skills. I liked the concept of Compleat CI surgeon who should be knowledgeable about every aspect of the subject from basic and applied anatomy to the audiology, radiology, electronics so on and off course different surgical aspects. All these things were covered during the course.

Thanks Dr. Balkany for excellent course. I feel very lucky to learn from you. You have clarified all my queries, especially the inferior vector and hook portion of the cochlea. My purpose in registering for the course has been achieved with 100% success

I am able to say with certainty that this course is unique and extremely worthwhile. I already had surgical experience with a number of CIs, but this course was invaluable to take my understanding and skills to the next level.

Thank you so much for enhancing our knowledge. Great course.

The course is organized in a rational and very didactic way. Dr. Balkany is able to clearly and objectively approach the various aspects of cochlear implants, which makes all lectures interesting and enjoyable to watch. In addition, all the colleagues who took part in the course ask excellent questions, which complements the discussions brilliantly.

It was an excellent experience. Thoroughly enjoyed the course. The intricate details of cochlear implantation were covered in the module and have been put into practice now. Dr. Balkany is a blessed teacher. May God give him good health and longevity to continue this excellent program. I feel every potential CI surgeon should undergo this training. I hope to use this training to build my CI practice and benefit Society.

CI is my passion and I spend most of my time learning and practicing in order to do the best things for my patients. It is the best CI training course I have ever attended…The course covers the vast subject of cochlear implantation, the way it is going is marvelous. [The Advanced Surgeon Training Course is] interesting, well taught with excellent web support.

To every Otologist that’s is interested in the CI field, ICIT is the best place to start!!!

With all their experience, they give the participant all the pearls that one needs to succeed in the field.
