Training Positions & Criteria

Overview of Training Positions

The Board appreciates that to provide the diversified clinical and educational experience necessary to achieve competency in neurosurgery, training positions in distinctly different hospital teaching environments are necessary. As such criteria for the accreditation of training positions has been developed in a hierarchal manner to facilitate the inclusion of training positions not only in principal teaching hospitals, but also affiliated hospitals generally located in outer-metropolitan areas and private hospitals. Training positions specifically for paediatric neurosurgery are also accredited as part of the SET Program.
