Simulation Training Curricula for Neurosurgical Residents: Cervical Foraminotomy and Durotomy Repair Modules

Duty hour limitations and regulatory pressure for enhanced quality and outcomes may limit access of neurosurgical residents to fundamental skills training. Fundamental skills training as part of a validated simulation curriculum can mitigate this challenge to residency education. National development of effective technical simulation modules for use in individual residency training programs is a promising strategy to achieve these goals.
