An Overview
Intraoperative monitoring applications have expandedrapidly in recent years. Where we once could onlyassess sensory spinal cord function, we can now pro-vide reliable information on cranial nerves, nerveroots, intracranial and extracranial vessels, and spinalcord motor tracts.
Our course is designed to teach effective and provenmethods of intraoperative neurophysiologic moni-toring. Each student should have a general under-standing of anatomy and physiology, electrophysiology,operating room guidelines and computer literacy.
Intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring skillsare built through experience. Therefore, this trainingcourse is predominantly spent in the operating roomduring surgery. Fortunately, our large volume ofcases allows us to spend the necessary one-on-onetutoring in the operating room, which complimentsthe classroom instruction. Thus, the goal is to pro-vide practical art with theoretical science. We intendfor the successful participant to leave this course andapply these modalities immediately in their facility.
The following modalities and their applications canbe selected for this hands-on course.* We do notexpect the course participants to become highlyproficient neuromonitorists. Rather, we intend forthe participant to attain a level of competence whichwill provide a base of knowledge from which tobuild.
* Due to constant changes in the surgical schedule,we cannot guarantee a specific number of surgical procedures will be performed during the workshop.
