What to expect from practice:
The student will participate in daily clinical work in neurosurgery — including a stay in the ward, intensive care, operating room and outpatient clinic. In addition to the clinical routine, practice also includes attendance at interdisciplinary conferences and the possibility of writing an occasional report for BHAAAS Days and other student symposia.

Upon completion of the internship, the student will receive a certificate, and the best candidates will receive recommendations, and there is the possibility of continuing cooperation through scientific research work.
