Education

The Department of Neurosurgery combines excellence in teaching, research, and clinical expertise to train tomorrow's physicians for the rapidly changing world of medicine. We continually work to ensure that our training programs offer the best possible environment for developing the careers of future leaders of neurosurgical practice and science.

With a faculty of more than 50 physicians and researchers, we train the brightest and best medical students, residents, and fellows from across the globe, and offer: 

• a nationally competitive residency program that provides a thorough grounding in neurological surgery,
• advanced fellowship training in a wide range of subspecialties,
• a faculty-mentored neurological surgery student interest group, and
• weekly grand rounds led by experts in a variety of fields.

The Department of Neurosurgery also houses several research laboratories, which train graduate students, fellows, and residents in neuro-oncology, vascular disease, spine biomechanics, and other areas of leading-edge medicine.
