====== Working time ======


[[Work]]ing [[time]] is the period of time that a person spends on paid labor. 
----
Regulations on reducing [[work]]ing hours for [[resident]]s reduce the possibilities for practical and psychophysical training, affecting the quality of the residency and prolonging the [[learning curve]]
((Cowie CJA, Pešić-Smith JD, Boukas A, Nelson RJ. Has the impact of the working time regulations changed neurosurgical trainees’ attitudes towards the European working time directive 5 years on? Br J Neurosurg. (2013) 27(5):580–5. 10.3109/02688697.2013.834530))

These controversial aspects are also critical for the increasing medicolegal issues affecting medical [[practice]] in the last few decades
((Steele L, Mukherjee S, Stratton-Powell A, Anderson I, Timothy J. Extent of medicolegal burden in neurosurgery: an analysis of the national health service litigation authority database. Br J Neurosurg. (2015) 29(5):622–9. 10.3109/02688697.2015.1054362))

Accordingly, the impossibility to try or repeat surgical [[procedure]]s makes [[neurosurgical training]] more difficult. For all these reasons, training on human [[cadaver]]ic [[specimen]]s results in an essential and irreplaceable [[tool]] for residents and fully-trained [[neurosurgeon]]s
