Survey - Spinal Surgery Training

There have been recent moves within the neurosurgical and orthopaedic communities to try to standardise the quality of spinal surgery training that residents receive across Europe. To help in providing a clearer picture as to what residents and newly qualified orthopaedic spine specialists currently go through, we have devised this questionnaire to provide a basis for comparisons to be made as well as for achievable standards to be set
