Abstract: Neurosurgery is both an art and a science. The art of neurosurgery can be learnt by working with a Senior Neurosurgeon, over a period of time. But the science of neurosurgery has to be learnt from intense reading of textbooks, journals and elucidation of difficult topics by a masterly teacher. Many of the concepts in neurosurgery and applied basic sciences can be better learnt with the help of a good teacher of neurosurgery. Much of the clinical acumen is gained at the bedside teaching by a good teacher. But unfortunately, the species of dedicated teachers of neurosurgery seems to be fast dwindling. So the technology can provide the gap of these problems. We can use the telemedicine technology and make a schedule teaching program from a good neurosurgical specialist.
