This intensive 2-day course equips medical professionals with essential neurosurgical skills through a combination of didactic lectures and hands-on practical training. Ideal for surgeons and medical practitioners seeking to develop foundational competencies in common neurosurgical procedures and techniques.
This course is designed for medical professionals with existing surgical training and experience. Participants should have a background in medicine or surgery and be seeking to develop specialized neurosurgical skills. Prior knowledge of basic surgical principles and anatomy is essential. Participants must be able to commit to the full 2-day intensive program.
The course is structured over two days with distinct learning phases. Day one focuses on didactic lectures covering common neurosurgical pathologies, providing theoretical foundations and clinical context. Day two is dedicated to hands-on practical skill sessions where participants gain direct experience with essential neurosurgical techniques including patient positioning strategies, neuro navigation systems, microscope setup and operation, neuro dissection methods, and basic procedural skills such as burr hole creation, external ventricular drainage (EVD) placement, and catheter insertion.
