Advanced Peripheral Observation Training Course

Return to Course Lobby

As part of Atrium’s continued commitment to providing first class education, Atrium Medical Corporation is proud to partner with Dr. Prakash Makam, and Community Hospital, Munster, Indiana to provide a day of observational physician training.

Dr. Makam and Community Hospital have created an advanced training program in an effort to provide physicians with greater knowledge and understanding of various techniques in peripheral interventions.

Each training session is 1 day and is limited to an intimate group of 4 to 5 physicians per training. The training incorporates daily live cases combined with detailed discussions of various techniques that can be utilized in the treatment of each patient. The training is an observational experience where qualified operators are observed within the cath lab and trainees are exposed to a series of complex cases.

The goal of the training is to educate each physician on the rationale behind the use of various techniques in peripheral and coronary interventions. Included within the program is clinical use of the ClearWay™ RX local therapeutic infusion catheter.

Physicians attending these trainings must be licensed practicing physicians.

Atrium Medical provides technical information on the ClearWay™ RX product and its performance, but is not responsible for the content of the training program.
