Testing a Brain Surgery Training Tool for Medical Professionals
This study tests a new training system that uses real calf brain tissue to help doctors and medical students practice neurosurgery skills. Researchers want to see if this hands-on method helps people learn better and feel more confident before operating on patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a medical student, neurosurgery resident, neurosurgery fellow, or neurosurgeon
- You work at one of four participating hospitals in Quebec (McGill, Royal Victoria, Jewish General, or Montreal Children's Hospital)
- Medical students: you have not done previous training with the NeuroVR simulator or calf brain models
