Overview Summary
The Challenge
The Colorado Surgical Institute website needed to support multiple course offerings, dates, and registration while managing instructors, video content, and podcasts. The platform required a content system capable of organizing surgical training programs with frequent schedule updates and evolving educational resources.
Objectives

- Enable internal teams to manage courses, schedules, faculty, and updates independently
- Build a flexible system that could evolve with new courses, dates, and faculty
- Organize ongoing support resources including FAQs, mentorship, and video content
- Streamline course registration and student enrollment workflows
Solution
I implemented a CMS-driven content structure designed to support CSI's courses and registration ecosystem. Built interconnected collections linking courses to scheduled dates and instructors. Developed course date entries with integrated registration functionality. Created resource collections for FAQs, testimonials, and educational videos. Connected instructor profiles to their courses.
Key Features
- Surgical Training Catalog: Comprehensive course system covering implant placement, full-arch procedures, and digital workflows with detailed program information.
- Integrated Scheduling & Registration: Course dates dynamically linked to programs with built-in registration functionality, streamlining enrollment workflows.
- Connected Instructor System: Faculty profiles automatically linked to their teaching assignments, showcasing surgical expertise and course calendar.
- Ongoing Support Hub: CMS-managed FAQs, mentorship resources, videos, and podcasts providing continued education beyond live courses.

Internal teams gained autonomy to publish courses, update schedules, manage instructors, and add educational resources independently.
Results
Created a scalable platform organizing advanced surgical training programs with capacity for continued course expansion. Non-technical teams gained complete content control, managing course catalogs, scheduling, faculty information, and support resources without developer involvement. The interconnected CMS architecture improved course discovery and streamlined registration workflows.
