To be adequately prepared for the technical surgical demands and inter-professional teamwork required of the operating room, cadaveric laboratory training is essential. A recent survey of neurosurgical residency programs in the US bore this out: 95.4% of respondents view laboratory dissection as integral to training and an additional 89.2% would support a national suggested dissection curriculum and manual. To address this demand the OHSU Neurosurgery residency program partnered with OHSU Simulation, the OHSU Body Donation Program, and industry stakeholders to develop, over the past six years, an annual three-part cadaveric surgical simulation course series that has provided training in skull base procedures.
