Spinal Subspecialization in Post Graduate Neurosurgical Education

Designing Teaching Practice in Post-Graduate Education

This paper explores how teachers can design post-graduate teaching practice in ways that allow participants to construct new knowledge that supports their daily work practice. To explore the design of teaching practice in post-graduate education, the authors have studied a post-graduate course at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU. Qualitative data about the teaching pract...

Neurosurgical education.

T his topic is too broad and too subjective to lend itself to a proper scientific presentation. Nevertheless, we have chosen it for discussion because of its importance and because of our passionate interest in education, particularly of neurosurgical residents. Although there are other more specific platforms to discuss neurosurgical education and in spite of the fact that the senior author ha...

Faculty outlook toward animal experiments in post-graduate medical education.

Animal Experiments (AE) are fundamental in the training of almost all pharmacology-related post-graduate courses.1 However, research studies have questioned their human applicability, toxicological utility, and validity. Other limitations like their exorbitant costs, difficulty in procurement of animals, strict regulations, and reservations about animal ethics by animal rights organizations and...

Spinal radiosurgery: a neurosurgical perspective.

Spine stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS) is proving to be one of the most significant advances in the treatment of both metastatic and primary spine tumors. High-dose hypofractionated and single fraction radiation appear to convey better local tumor control than conventional radiation for tumors considered radioresistant, such as renal cell carcinoma and melanoma. Multiple series have demonstrate...
