  The MISU 2004 course was another MISU success! As always, the high faculty to participant ratio allows for greater teaching and understanding of minimally invasive spine treatments between faculty and participants.  The close interaction and hands-on workshops in the course helps our participants come away with a deeper insight of new techniques and how to incorporate them into their spine related practices.
