3.Practice: You will be able to assist live surgeries combined with a wet lab, supported with a detailed practical analysis of the clinical and surgical steps, with video-based backup, to highlight important surgical pearls for SMILE.
4.Workshop: The aim of the workshops is to enable the attendees to build on the basic knowledge they have acquired in the wet lab and Live surgery, in order to develop the surgical expertise they will require prior to performing these procedures on patients.
5.Expecting: At the end of the course, the attendees are expected to perform routine SMILE surgeries with a fair degree of confidence and would be well versed with managing intraoperative complications, if they encounter any.

ABOUT TIANJIN
Tianjin is one of the four municipalities in China. Its name means the place where the emperor crossed the river . Situated on the sea so close to the capital, Tianjin has long been a transport hub for international commerce, and so a great deal of history has accrued to the municipality. It has played its role as a hub for Chinese transport as well, its spokes radiating out to a dozen northern provinces. This is an area which has seen considerable activity through the centuries as a consequence with the varied comings and goings of foreigners and Chinese from many different regions and of many different ethnicities.
Forever being compared to Běijīng (if anything, it s more like Sh nghǎi), the former foreign concession port of Tiānjīn (天津) is a large, booming, yet laid-back city, with a pleasant river promenade and some charming, European-flavoured neighbourhoods. It s an easy day trip from the capital, but you may want a long weekend to explore the city properly.
In recent years it receives more and more attention from visitors due to its illustrious historical heritage and other natural resources. Blessed with variety of attractions, this is a good place to explore. There are also many natural scenes of beauty as well as great historical events.
