Summary
Research rotation is an important component in the education of a neurosurgical resident. The selection of the area of research is essential. There are many arguments in favour of selecting research projects to be close to the individual trainee’s clinical interest. Studies far away from the individual’s clinical interest in most cases are less productive and will not be pursued later. There are also many advantages if a cooperation is planned with other institutions. The programme director or staff members play an important role in the selection of the research project, of an appropriate laboratory or institution, and in the process of financing a research rotation.
