Half day intensive
An intensive half-day surgical anatomy workshop for SET Trainees focusing on brain and spinal cord regions through interactive skill stations, intraoperative imaging, and prosected specimens to enhance operative knowledge and examination preparation.
Participants should be SET Trainees or those considering SET application. Prior knowledge of basic surgical anatomy is recommended. Participants must be able to attend the full half-day intensive session on 19 June 2026 in Hobart. Medical professionals with interest in neurosurgical anatomy are welcome to inquire about eligibility.
The course covers comprehensive brain and spinal cord anatomy with specific focus on operative procedures. Learning is facilitated through interactive small group skill stations that combine dynamic and still intraoperative images, radiological exhibits, and prosected human specimens. Participants explore anatomical structures in relation to surgical approaches and techniques, enhancing their understanding of neurosurgical anatomy for clinical application and examination preparation.
The University of Tasmania's Tasmanian School of Medicine delivers this course through experienced neurosurgeons with clinical expertise. The intensive workshop format combines theoretical knowledge with practical visualization using real intraoperative images and prosected specimens, providing high-quality surgical education in an interactive small group setting that facilitates deep learning and professional development.
Upon completion, participants will be better prepared for Part 1 and 2 Examinations in surgical training. Enhanced surgical anatomy knowledge supports career advancement in neurosurgery and related surgical specialties. The course strengthens clinical competency in understanding brain and spinal cord operative procedures, supporting professional development for surgical trainees and practicing neurosurgeons.
