Neurosurgical Physician Education
The Neurosurgery brain and spine physician teams at Hamilton Health Sciences want to
join with our community partner hospital physicians for a collaborative neurosurgical
education discussion. Based on feedback from the education needs survey completed
by physicians, with the end goal of optimizing the delivery of neurosurgical care in our
region, we would like to provide objective-driven education, focused on the assessment
and management of this patient population for non-neurosurgical hospital and clinic
physicians. Bring your complex cases for discussion!
