The prime objective of the seminar is to sensitize the participants, with little or no experi-ence in treating war-wounded patients, to the specificity of war surgery within the ICRC.
The Seminar is also open to active qualified military surgical personnel interested in gain-ing an overview of the ICRC experience of surgery for the victims of armed conflict.
Maximum number of participants for the seminar is 40.
The content of the seminar combines field experiences and related aspects of interna-tional humanitarian law; appropriate surgical and anaesthesia techniques; wound man-agement and patient care in a precarious environment.
The language of the seminar is English. The format is intentionally informal and discus-sions during previous seminars have been lively.

The cost of the seminar is 600.-Swiss Francs per participant and includes two nights accommodation (Friday and Saturday) and all meals during the seminar. The cost of the travel to and from Geneva and any extra hotel nights is the responsibility of the participant or their sponsors.
