In the field of neurosurgery, they allow medical students to practice complex operations before using a scalpel on a real patient. When combined with artificial intelligence, these tutoring systems can offer tailored feedback like a human instructor, identifying areas where the students need to improve and making suggestions on how to achieve expert performance.</p> Thu, 14 Sep 2023 15:36:17 +0000 gallage.peiris@mail.mcgill.ca 5799 at /neuro /neuro/article/virtual-simulator-future-surgical-training <p>Technology being developed at The Neuro aims to revolutionize how brain surgery is taught around the world.</p> <p>Simulators are used to train pilots and maintain their skills. “There is no way in the next few years that medical students going into neurosurgery will operate on humans without first being trained on simulators,” says Dr. Del Maestro.</p> Thu, 08 Dec 2022 19:47:05 +0000 Anita Kar 5678 at /neuro /neuro/article/research/renowned-neurosurgeon-celebrates-97-years Dr. Gilles Bertrand made substantial contributions to surgery for spinal disorders pituitary tumour Thu, 05 Aug 2021 13:26:28 +0000 Shawn Hayward 5090 at /neuro /neuro/article/marking-black-history-month-celebrating-pioneering-neurosurgeons Clarence Sumner Greene was the first African-American to be certified as a neurosurgeon and Jesse Barber Jr. was among the first African-American neurosurgeons in the United States.
