Curriculum
Fellows will be supported to settle down into their new environment (find appropriate accommodation and locate amenities). Desk space will be allocated. Full induction (safety, hospital practices, personal welfare) will be provided by myself. I will arrange an initial meeting with the fellow to discuss the objectives of the training.
The fellow will be fully trained to all activities of the Department. They will be able to engage with me (supervisor) and other members of the group in different surgical procedures. They will also have the opportunity to engage in clinical research and write a manuscript during their stay depending on their interest.
The fellow will be given the opportunity to actively participate in group meetings and other academic activities within the teaching hospital (including Grand Rounds, interdisciplinary ICU rounds, morbidity and mortality conferences, tumor board, interdisciplinary skull base conferences, internal educational conferences, workshops, scientific meetings). They will also be encouraged to present their work orally at a group meeting at least once before they complete their visit.
Towards the end of the training, I will have a meeting with the fellow to discuss plans to publish their clinical work (if enough data collected) or disseminate their findings at a future conference.
Throughout the training, any particular challenges or specific requests of a fellow will be fully considered to ensure a responsive, relevant and adequate training plan is developed for them.
Administrative procedure and accommodation
How many procedures are done in a given week?
With two fully operative neurosurgical theatres, 15 elective neurosurgical cases – the majority being intracranial procedures - are scheduled per week.
Neurosurgical emergencies are frequent (at least two per day in this tertiary care center) and cases are usually handled and operated on in parallel or after regular work hours.
You will probably know that, with respect to attending conferences and interdisciplinary meetings in Erfurt, Germany, applicants would have to understand some German.
