The International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology is an international society founded with the object to pursue the international advancement of excellence in intra- and perioperative neurophysiology, to advance standards of care for patients undergoing surgical procedures associated with risk of neurological injury and to advance standards of education for professionals involved in intraoperative neurophysiology
The educational commitment of ISIN, leads the society to run a 3 years cycle of educational courses to cover the structure of neuromonitoring.
Structure of the Courses
- Part I: IOM and Spinal Cord Surgery

- Part III: IOM of Brain Stem and Peripheral Nerve Surgery
How does it work?
Participants can undertake a course at any point they wish but it is mandatory to finish the three years cycle in order to get the ISIN certification.
