Why we chose Vienna for the 1st Comprehensive Endoscopic Sinus Surgery Course
When we set out to build a new endoscopic sinus surgery course, the venue mattered as much as the programme itself. Here's why Vienna — and two specific buildings within it — made the decision easy.

A city with a surgical history of its own
Vienna has long held a distinguished place in the history of medicine and surgery. Hosting a hands-on surgical course here isn't just a matter of convenience — it places participants within a tradition of anatomical study and surgical innovation that stretches back centuries.
The Josephinum: lectures inside a living museum
Our lecture sessions take place at the Josephinum, an 18th-century building once used to train military surgeons under Emperor Joseph II. Today it houses one of the world's most significant collections of anatomical wax models, making it a uniquely fitting backdrop for a course rooted in precise anatomical understanding.
The Institute of Anatomy: where the real work happens
Just minutes from the Josephinum, the Institute of Anatomy at the Medical University of Vienna provides the dissection facilities for the hands-on portion of the course. Being able to move seamlessly between both venues — lecture hall and dissection lab — within the same historic district was a key part of designing a course that feels coherent from start to finish.
Building something new on established ground
This is the first edition of this course, but it's built on decades of academic tradition in Vienna. Our goal is for it to grow year on year — and there is no better place to build that future than a city that has shaped the history of surgical education for so long.
