Clinical Training and Assessment
Clinical training positions facilitate workplace hands on service learning and exploration in a range of training environments providing the opportunity for the trainee to develop, with supervision, the requisite experience, knowledge, skills and attributes necessary to become a competent independent specialist neurosurgeon.
SET1 trainees must satisfactorily complete four three month clinical training rotations as allocated by the Board. SET2, SET3, SET5 and SET6 trainees must satisfactorily complete two six month clinical rotations in neurosurgery per year as allocated by the Board including one clinical rotation in pediatric neurosurgery.
Three main assessment tools are used to assess clinical training:
