The educational department of Alshafai Neurosurgical Acedemy (ANA) was established in 2016 to revolutionize neurosurgical education. We aim to apply dynamic, interactive and multimodal, evidence-based educational concepts rather than traditional teaching. We focus on using cutting-edge, innovative, state-of-the-art techniques in education. Including, but not limited to, neurosurgical courses, workshops, seminars, distant learning and clinical training.
The department of education aims to provide a not-for-profit resource for learning. Our goal is to support Neurosurgical centers and International societies in providing learning materials and training courses targeting Knowledge Building as well as Maintenance of Continuous Education. Our curriculum is aimed to address all levels of Neurosurgery starting from Medical students all the way to Senior practicing Neurosurgeons. We hope that this material will eventually be free and globally accessible.
We continuously analyze the effectiveness of our methodologies by studying the outcome and feedback. Our highly-qualified team produce prospective data which is studied regularly. Most of our results have been presented in the different annual neurosurgical meetings where we continuously perform outcome measures and look closely at the performances of our candidates.
