NEUROSURGERYDepartment of Neurosurgery, II nd Medical Faculty. The Medical University of WarsawAddress: 80 Cegłowska Street, 01-809 WarsawPhone: 022 835 00 05; fax: 022 865 60 57Head: Prof. Zbigniew Czernicki MD, PhD

Curricular affairs: Jarosław Andrychowski, MD

Teaching course includes 1 week of blocked (total: 30 hours) seminars and practical clinical training.

The aim of the course: to present selected issues from the field neurosurgery, which are the most important for the general practice, concerning:- increased intracranial pressure (diagnosis and treatment)- neurotraumatology (diagnosis, medical and surgical treatment of patients with nervous system injuries).- tumors of the central nervous system (diagnosis and treatment)- acute cerebrovascular disorders (patient's care, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures)- selected problems of diagnosis and therapy in other diseases of the nervous system (epilepsy, pain syndroms, vertebral disc prolapse, hydrocephalus, congenital malformations).

Organization of the teaching process:Teaching course begins on Monday and finishes on Friday. Each day the course starts at 8 a.m. and continues until 1 p.m. (including half-an-hour-break). The neurosurgery block consists of (totally) 10 hours of seminars and 15 hours of practical clinical training. Daily schedule begins with the morning seminar (8-9 a.m.), preparing the participants for the problems, being discussed later on during the practical training (9 a.m. - 12). A second 1-hours seminar is scheduled at 12, summarizing the knolewge, acquired during the day. Teaching program contains also the visit to the Operating Theatre (to watch one operative procedure), as well as visit to the outpatient clinic. Students entering the teaching program are expected to know the rules of physical neurological examination, and to be familiar with neroradiological diagnostic procedures.

Evaluation methods and rules.Evaluation of the acquired knowledge and skills takes place during the last day of training. Presence during all seminars and practical training courses, as well as students' activity, are the basic requirements for the student to be scored. Students pass the oral test, checking the acquired skills, and then they obtain the final acceptance.
