Abstract:
The enormous volume of published literature in the field of neurosurgery represents an impossible task for the trainee or consultant neurosurgeon to digest. The aim of this paper is to review the views of current accredited trainees as to how best achieve the goals of information acquisition in combination with a heavy clinical workload. The views of 22 accredited trainees in the field of neurosurgery in Australia and New Zealand are reviewed. The recommendations from this study are that journal clubs are paramount to neurosurgical training for acquisition of new information, the frequency of meetings should be monthly and papers discussed should be those that impact significantly on management and standard of care and be founded on evidence-based medicine criteria.
