Incorporation of the first postgraduate year of training into neurological surgery residencies in 2009 posed new challenges to neurosurgical educators. A "boot camp" course was held in August 2009 to introduce first year neurosurgical trainees to various fundamental cognitive and practical skills.
The effectiveness of this course was evaluated by electronic survey of all trainees and faculty members.
Eighteen trainees entering 5 western neurosurgical residencies (in either the first or second postgraduate year) participated in a course taught by 10 faculty members at a single host institution (Oregon Health & Science University) for 2 days. All trainees completed an online survey evaluating the relevance and quality of each didactic and hands-on course component and answered additional questions about the goals and design of the course. Faculty members were also surveyed.
All trainees thought the course met its goals, provided relevant and useful information and experience, and was likely to improve patient care. In particular, hands-on procedural and operative course components were highly valued.
A fundamental skills boot camp course for first year neurosurgical trainees seems valuable.
2009 年，将研究生第一年培训纳入神经外科学住院医师培训中，给神经外科学教育者带来了新的挑战。2009 年 8 月举办了一个“训练营”课程，旨在向第一年神经外科受训者介绍各种基本认知和实践技能。
通过对所有受训者和教师的电子调查评估该课程的效果。
18 名进入 5 个西部神经外科住院医师培训计划（第一或第二年研究生）的受训者在一个主办机构（俄勒冈健康与科学大学）参加了由 10 名教员教授的为期 2 天的课程。所有受训者都完成了一项在线调查，评估了每个理论和实践课程的相关性和质量，并回答了关于课程目标和设计的其他问题。教员也接受了调查。
所有受训者都认为该课程达到了其目标，提供了相关且有用的信息和经验，并且很可能改善患者的护理。特别是，实践程序和手术课程部分受到高度重视。
对于第一年神经外科受训者来说，基础技能训练营课程似乎很有价值。
