Surgical Education & Training in Neurosurgery
NSA Annual Scientific Meeting 2008
The Board appreciates that to provide the diversified clinical and educational experience necessary to achieve competency in neurosurgery, training positions in distinctly different hospital teaching environments are necessary. As such criteria for the accreditation of training positions has been developed in a hierarchal manner to facilitate the inclusion of training positions not only in principal teaching hospitals, but also affiliated hospitals generally located in outer-metropolitan areas and private hospitals. Training positions specifically for paediatric neurosurgery are also accredited as part of the SET Program.
The Board of Neurosurgery has very comprehensive Regulations clearly detailing the criteria and processes for the accreditation of training positions. To obtain a copy of the Regulations and application form please contact our office or download the relevant documentation below. It is important to note that the Regulations are reviewed on an annual basis and are subject to change.
