Neurosurgeons and Med-Students studying Neuroscience: Is lobotomy procedure apart of the curriculum?

The existence of psycho-medications (i.e. Thorazine etc) for the past 60 years has helped with the dramatic decline of this procedure, however I've wondered if they still occur, and if so is it apart of the standard curriculum for brain surgery. Do all certified Neurosurgeons/ Neuroscientists know how to perform a lobotomy?
