"I'm so elated for the opportunity to participate in the Bergamo Open Rhinoplasty Course in Bergamo, Italy. The course offers tools and education to benefit the next generation of surgeons in Europe; many of which we also covered in the Dallas Rhinoplasty Meeting, which just concluded earlier this month. Both courses for rhinoplasty specialists are some of the best educational events that will be held all year!" according to Dr. Rod J. Rohrich M.D., F.A.C.S. Dr. Rohrich was the organizer and chair for the recent 35th anniversary of the Dallas Rhinoplasty Meeting that took place March 2 - 3, 2018.

The Bergamo Open Rhinoplasty Course was designed for surgeons of different specialties (Plastic, ENT, Maxillofacial) who seek improvement of their rhinoplasty skills at all levels. The customizable program is designed so that rhinoplasty surgeons at any stages in their careers – both beginners and those who are proficient – can benefit from the different educational tracks. Upon completion, the aim is that attendees will have the tools to achieve the best possible results when performing an open primary or secondary rhinoseptoplasty.
