In this training proposal, each activity is designed to strengthen and perfect the key competencies required for specialized practice in this area. This will maximize the professional profile, driving solid, efficient, and highly competitive performance.

It is, without a doubt, an opportunity to learn by working in the innovative hospital of the future, where real-time patient health monitoring is at the core of the digital culture of its professionals. This is a new way of understanding and integrating health processes, making it the ideal educational environment for this innovative experience in perfecting the professional skills required by healthcare providers in the 21st century.

The stay at the hospital will allow the professional to complete a minimum number of clinical practice activities in the neurosurgery and orthopedics departments, as well as in other areas of the center such as operating rooms, intensive care units, diagnostic imaging, pathology, and even outpatient clinics. This will enable the participant to put diagnostic and therapeutic procedures into practice.

The practical teaching will be conducted with the guidance and support of professors and fellow trainees, facilitating teamwork and multidisciplinary integration as transversal competencies for medical practice (learning to be and learning to relate).

The procedures described below will form the basis of the training, and their execution will depend on the availability, routine, and workload of the center. The proposed activities are as follows:

Diagnostic Methods in Spinal Surgery

  • Perform the appropriate patient history and environmental assessment
  • Indicate the commonly used imaging studies such as X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, fluorography, and densitometry
