We are excited to bring to you a workshop by Dr Ourania Varsou for NUNC 2024 as part of the afternoon events.

In this workshop, we will explore living head and neck anatomy using handheld ultrasound systems. This will include a live demo and an opportunity to practice hands-on scanning, delving further into the three-dimensional aspects of ultrasonographic anatomy. This interactive session is designed to enhance your understanding of head and neck anatomy, through ultrasonography, while also acquiring basic skills in using handheld ultrasound devices.

Stay tuned for more updates this week!🎉

Introducing our first speaker- Dr Katrin Rabiei, MD, PhD, MSc

As the first woman of refugee background to become a neurosurgeon in Sweden, Katrin Rabiei is constantly breaking barriers and setting an example not only for women but also for minorities.

Rabiei is a board-certified neurosurgeon and current chair of the Spine Section at NU Hospital Group. She did her neurosurgical training at Sahlgrenska University Hospital in Gothenburg, Sweden, and a pediatric neurosurgery fellowship at the Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia.

She received her medical diploma and her master’s degree in advanced dental science from the Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg. In 2016, she concluded her PhD studies at the same institution. Her thesis project studied the epidemiology, morphology, and surgical outcome of arachnoid cysts, for which she received the Swedish Neurosurgical Society´s award for Ph.D. Thesis of the Year in 2017.

Since 2016 she has worked as a researcher at the Centre for Ageing and Health (AgeCap) and in the neuropsychiatric epidemiology research unit (EPINEP) at the University of Gothenburg.

Over the years, her research has focused on arachnoid cysts as well as hydrocephalus. She has several publications in important journals and book chapters. She is not only an author but a reviewer for different neurosurgical journals such as Acta Neurochirurgica (where she also serves as social-media editor) and World Neurosurgery.

Stay tuned for more updates. 🥳
