Education
joimax®, as a developer and provider of high-end instruments and devices for endoscopic spine surgery, emphasizes training and education for professionals to ensure medical performance of highest quality in the field of endoscopic spine procedures.
CM3 – Continuous Medical Education
With the 3-step training program as part of the international medical education program, joimax® offers intense theoretical and practical education.
During Step 1 the surgeon will become familiar with the surgical techniques while visiting at reference centers.
Step 2 combines theoretical and practical training during joimax® workshops, and within Step 3 the newly acquired skills will be transferred and refined with our professional support during own first endoscopic procedures.

Step 1: Visitation
Prior to our workshop, interested surgeons are given the opportunity to gain their first live-experience with the surgical methods at one of our partner hospitals in Germany or other European countries. Visitation dates are arranged on demand following consultation with the respective reference center, then you will be provided with the necessary details by our distribution staff.
Depending on availability, if desired, one of our specialists can coach and support you at the beginning of your surgical operations and can answer your questions.

Step 2: Hands-On Workshop
joimax® workshops of the CM3 program are designed to deepen existing knowledge and expand further surgical techniques.
