A roadshow which will take 3 weeks should inform and attract medical doctors to the upcoming Shoulder Course in Villach.

With a ISC Roadshow-Car medical students will visit Hospitals and related industry along the road from Switzerland to Vorarlberg, Tyrol, Carinthia, Styria, Upper and Lower Austria, Vienna, Salzburg, Northeastern Italy, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Bavaria. Direct contacts with orthopedic surgeons and physiotherapists are part of the show. This is the way to a personal relationship between the Congress in June and the shoulder community.
