The main resident’s office is located at SBMC. It
has state of the art audio-visual equipment including 42” flat
screen TV and the latest recording and editing equipment.
All surgical procedures are recorded via either headlight
or microscope mounted TV and stored on computer discs. Residents
select appropriate cases and edit them for presentation at
weekly conferences. This allows them to review the surgical
procedures in which they participated as many times as they
feel necessary to fully understand it. In the comfort of
their office and with the use of other teaching tools such
as books or other information available through the computer
searches, they maximize their learning experience.
The office contains four independent computer stations for
the residents with access to Internet and several medical search engine programs.In
addition to a general Medical Library at SBMC there is a
dedicated Otto York Neurosurgical library with large number
of titles and tapes. The resident’s office at NBIMC
is going to be available in the near future.
The well endowed Newmann Neurosurgical Education Fund is
used to pay for various educational tools, activities, conferences
and others. The research is funded through the Sandra Christie
Research Fund.
