History of medical education in neurosurgical training: moving from illustrations and cadaver dissections to virtual simulation
The study concludes that historical insights into neurosurgical education methods provide valuable lessons for future improvements in teaching and mentoring in the field. The legacy of figures such as Sir William Osler and Dr. Albert Rhoton continues to inform and inspire modern neurosurgical education, particularly in clinical and anatomical learning practices.
