Honoring Their Achievements and Future Endeavors
We recently hosted our annual Chiefs Party to honor and celebrate our neurosurgery chief residents as they reach the conclusion of their residency. This event marks an important milestone as our chiefs transition from residency to the next stage of their careers.
This year, we are privileged to recognize our exceptional chiefs:
