The course has been developed for:

  • Neurosurgeons
  • Spine surgeons
  • Critical care physicians
  • Neurosurgery and critical care nurses
  • Mid-Level practitioners
  • Neurosurgery residents and fellows
  • Translational researchers interested in learning about clinical aspects of neurotrauma
Languages

This course covers the current best strategies and considerations for managing neurotrauma patients and is based on competencies defined in Global Neuro’s curriculum. The content is delivered using multiple methods. Comprehensive lectures concentrate on the understanding of core material. Interactive case presentations further deepen this knowledge and enrich the discussion on trauma management. Practical sessions teach the application of Global Neuro principles to the management of common injuries. Case-based discussions link the lecture material and practical skills with the clinical problems encountered in clinical practice.

The Global Neuro Advanced Course—Neurotrauma covers the theoretical basis and practical principles for managing traumatic brain and spine injuries and making proper decisions in the complicated cases.

After the course, the participants will be able to 

  • Review basic science and clinical translational advances in traumatic brain injury, cranial trauma, and spinal cord injury
  • Apply evidence-based-decision making to the management of patients with TBI and SCI
  • Select the best operative and non-operative treatment for each patient
  • Discuss advances in the critical and neurocritical care of TBI in adults and children
  • Assess and manage patients with spinal trauma and spinal cord injury based on current guidelines
