Thematik

Neurosurgeons diagnose, assess and perform surgery on disorders affecting the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system. They treat a wide range of conditions ranging from trauma, tumours, strokes, to infections or degenerative and congenital conditions. During our education, the medical students take part in interactive lectures, patient- and clinical problem-focused, bedside (small group!) practical sessions. They will also have the opportunity to study the activities of the operating room and the intensive care unit.
