“…La mentoría se define como "una asociación especial entre dos personas basada en el compromiso con el proceso, objetivos y expectativas comunes, enfoque, confianza mutua y respeto ". Muchas facultades de medicina han puesto en marcha programas de mentoría de investigación durante los estudios de grado (14,15). Los programas de investigación que incluyen mentores de investigación consiguen una mayor proporción de publicaciones comparado con aquellos que incluyen sólo clases, considerando los estudiantes que la falta de mentores es una limitación muy importante para la realización de la investigación durante el grado (16) y la única barrera identificada como factor independiente (1).…”

“…4 Recent years have seen an increasing interest in virtual research mentorship, where mentoring occurs over the internet. [7][8][9][10] Although these efforts have demonstrated the feasibility of virtual research mentoring, most remained institution specific. Meanwhile, we believe that virtual research mentoring may help break the bounds of nationality and facilitate participation in international research, an idea already shown to be plausible in a small, highly structured cancer research programme.…”

Background: Medical research is important for professional advancement, and mentoring is a key means by which students and early-career doctors can engage in research. Contrasting international research collaborations, research mentoring programmes are often geographically limited. As the COVID-19 pandemic has led to increased use of online technology for classes and conferences, a virtual, international approach to medical research mentoring may be valuable.

“…

T he complexity of the brain's structure and the low tolerance for error in neurosurgery make the training of residents slow and difficult. [1][2][3] The uneven distribution of medical and teaching resources in China makes this problem even more prominent. 4,5 Currently, there are more diverse options for training residents, including theoretical education, anatomical atlas, MR images, or 3D-printing models.

OBJECTIVE Mixed-reality simulation is an emerging tool for creating anatomical models for preoperative planning. Its use in neurosurgical training (NT) has been limited because of the difficulty in real-time interactive teaching. This study describes the development of a patient-specific, interactive mixed-reality NT system. The authors took cases of intracranial tumor resection or neurovascular compression (NVC) as examples to verify the technical feasibility and efficacy of the mixed-reality NT system for residents’ training and preoperative planning. METHODS This study prospectively enrolled 40 patients who suffered from trigeminal neuralgia, hemifacial spasms, or intracranial tumors. The authors used a series of software programs to process the multimodal imaging data, followed by uploading the holographic models online. They used a HoloLens or a standard iOS device to download and display the holographic models for training. Ten neurosurgical residents with different levels of surgical experience were trained with this mixed-reality NT system. Change in surgical strategy was recorded, and a questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the mixed-reality NT system. RESULTS The system allows the trainer and trainee to view the mixed-reality model with either a HoloLens or an iPad/iPhone simultaneously online at different locations. Interactive manipulation and instant updates were able to be achieved during training. A clinical efficacy validation test was conducted. The surgeons changed their exploration strategy in 48.3% of the NVC cases. For residents with limited experience in surgery, the exploration strategy for 75.0% of all patients with NVC was changed after the residents were trained with the mixed-reality NT system. Of the 60 responses for intracranial tumors, the trainee changed the surgical posture in 19 (31.7%) cases. The change of the location (p = 0.0338) and size (p = 0.0056) of craniotomy are significantly related to the experience of the neurosurgeons. CONCLUSIONS The mixed-reality NT system is available for local or real-time remote neurosurgical resident training. It may effectively help neurosurgeons in patient-specific training and planning of surgery for cases of NVC and intracranial tumor. The authors expect the system to have a broader application in neurosurgery in the near future.
