About us
In 2010 Dr. Aleix Vidal and his team of professionals began a charitable teaching program to train specialists who want to further their understanding of the field of arthroscopy and minimally invasive surgery.
Dr. Vidal’s team has created a project to enhance training with the following objectives:
- Train specialists in the area.
- Create a digital tele-training platform (PDT) to continue direct contact for complementary help and ongoing training.
- Perform minimally invasive interventions.
- Treat patients who otherwise would not have access to this type of intervention.
The teaching project has the support of the QuirónSalud Foundation and the sponsorship of the Asociación Arán.
