A comprehensive program offering clinical exposure to the latest techniques in Neuroanesthesia with optional participation in our 20-bed, PET scan equipped, Neuro Intensive Care Unit. Approximately 2,000 patients are treated in 4-5 state-of-the-art neurosurgical OR's, two of which will be equipped with interoperative MRI's (October 2007). All types of neurosurgical procedures including awake craniotomies, vascular and complex spinal procedures as well as interventional neuroradiology procedures are scheduled 5 days a week.
Research protocols are encouraged and resources for academic projects are readily available through our Division of Clinical and Translational Research along with dedicated non-clinical time. Also, on-going research projects are available and can provide a start to further academic endeavors. This is a 12-month program which can be extended to 18 or 24 months. Applicants should contact us to discuss their goals, and we can if desired, tailor a program suited to their specific needs and interests.
