Neurosurgical Oncology Fellowship Program Description
This 1-year neurosurgery fellowship is comprised of a multidisciplinary clinical experience within neuro-oncology combined with an emphasis on surgical trialing. This fellowship is accredited by the Society of Neurological Surgeons and accepts one fellow per academic year. Candidates are encouraged to apply 1-2 years before the anticipated start of fellowship training.
Neurosurgical Oncology Fellowship Program Goals
Graduates of the neurosurgical oncology fellowship will have gained advanced knowledge in multimodal treatment paradigms for complex brain tumor patients and developed expertise in surgical trialing. The successful graduate will be well prepared for careers in academic neurosurgery and subspecialty practice.
Clinical Duties
Fellows become an integral part of the Department of Neurosurgery and actively participate in the training and education of residents and medical students. Fellows are expected to share call with the attending physicians and to be on call for complicated cases or postoperative complications.
