General and Functional Neurosurgery

We welcome you again to Beitostølen to learn and discuss, and as always, the main focus is on group discussions.

As in previous years there will be exams in the curriculum of the course and neurosurgical anatomy. We will award the best exam results with prizes for both the general course curriculum and the neuroanatomy exam. Students doing research will also have the opportunity to present a short abstract to earn both honor and a prize.

Evaluations and examinations will be collected and evaluated using the Socrative app. We encourage all participants to download and familiarize themselves with this software before coming to Beitostølen.
