Summary

The subject of Safety in Health is assuming in time a predominant position with those of high social, economic and political relevance. Numerous medical-surgical procedures are frequently learned as they are performed directly on the patient. The scope of our research, hence, is to recruit 5th- and 6th-year students of Medicine of the University of Milan who will have the opportunity to use two state-of-the-art 3-D virtual reality neurosurgical simulators at the Besta NeuroSim Center. Psychological Evaluation instruments will be used in order to select the personality profile most fit for a career in neurosurgery and to understand what training method is the most appropriate to achieve the best results in neurosurgery.
