DOI: 10.1055/s-0037-1602760
Abstract: Background Many plastic surgery training programs have implemented microvascular preparatory courses. However, these courses vary in length across institutions, lack formal assessment, and trainees receive certificates of completion rather than competency. In addition, many institutions… read more here.

DOI: 10.1227/neu.0000000000003360_1038
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Since the 1960s, despite advances in microsurgical techniques, low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) continue to experience a critical shortfall of five million essential neurosurgical procedures annually. The scarcity of local training compels neurosurgeons to… read more here.
