Topic: neurosurgery

This meeting connects medical students, trainees and others interested in neurology and neurosurgery with clinical specialists and practical training. Morning presentations cover neurointerventional radiology, skull-base surgery and neuromodulation. Afternoon sessions combine theory and practice in craniotomy, burr-hole technique and bone-flap fixation; pedicle-screw placement; upper-limb sensory and motor nerve-conduction studies; and catheter navigation using a neurointerventional simulator. No prior simulator experience is required. Posters and sponsor exhibits run during breaks and lunch,
