2022年7月某日、脳神経外科医局にて医学部5、6年生を対象とした脳神経外科医局説明会を開催しました。脳神経外科を一生の天職として生きていくことの意義、喜び、そしてそのノウハウについて、さまざまなキャリアを持つ脳神経外科医がそれぞれの立場から詳しく説明させてもらいました。その後は全体で、そして個別に医学生と脳神経外科医との間で夜遅くまでディスカッションすることができ、お互いにとって大変刺激的な夜になりました。2021年に皆で相談して臨床実習のプログラムや指導法を大きく改良したことが功を奏したのか、今回は例年では考えられない11名もの医学生が積極的に参加してくれました。彼らが今後も脳神経外科医を目指してくれるとすれば、望外の喜びです。彼らの洋々たる前途を祝福するとともに、全身全霊で彼らの指導に尽くしたいと考えています。
The Long & Winding Road To Be A Neurosurgeon Vol. 62
On a recent July 2022, the Department of Neurosurgery held an Neurosurgery Carreer Orientation for the 5th- and 6th-year medical students at the Department of Neurosurgery, University of Toyama. Neurosurgeons with various careers explained in detail from their own perspectives the significance, delights, and know-how of living a life-long profession as a neurosurgeon.
The discussions that followed, both as a whole and individually between medical students and neurosurgeons, lasted until late into the night, making for a really stimulating evening for both sides.
Two years ago, we all discussed and made substantial improvements to our clinical clerkship program and instruction strategies. Maybe because of all this, as many as 11 medical students actively participated in this year’s program, which was very much more than in previous years. It would be a great pleasure if they continue to aspire to become neurosurgeons in the future. I would like to congratulate them on their bright future prospects, and I will do my utmost to guide them in their endeavors.
Boys and girls, be ambitious!
