Program Description
The residency program is structured into three- to six-month blocks. All residents proceed through the various rotations sequentially, gaining experience and responsibility as they progress. The structured nature of the program allows the trainees to plan their time, studies, and research efforts. This organization leads to a more predictable and productive training experience.
Curriculum
This program is unique in several facets. The program is directed by fellowship trained attendings with interests in pediatrics, skull base, cerebrovascular disease, neuro-oncology, and complex spine reconstructive surgery. Residents have opportunities to work with the most advanced neurosurgical equipment available, operating rooms equipped with state-of-the-art operating microscopes, surgical navigation devices like STEALTH® Neuro-navigation, and Iso-C® for complex spine cases. Moreover, residents can gain first-hand exposure to treatment of complex cerebrovascular diseases by working with neuroendovascular staff. Residents are exposed to all adult neurosurgical subspecialties during their training.
