The UNC Casting Workshop Series provides healthcare providers, clinical staff and learners with practical skills related to the application and removal of casts in a state of the art facility on the main UNC-Chapel Hill campus or in small group settings at your facility. Each four-hour work session includes didactic learning and hands-on practicums. This is primarily a hands-on learning experience, and learners will spend most of the time casting and practicing their skills.
