S+N Academy Munich, situated in Kustermann Park in the heart of the
city, will provide a central European hub for surgeons from across
Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Surgeons and other healthcare
specialists will learn the latest surgical techniques using the most

Academies, across three continents. At its peak, S+N Academy Munich
is expected to train up to 5,000 global healthcare providers at the site

Additionally, S+N Academy Munich will also serve as a hub to connect
healthcare professionals with its global marketing and research and
