The Department of Neurosurgery is proud that many of its trainees are in neurosurgical positions across the country, both in academic medicine and in private practice.

Every faculty member had a vested interest in my success and did their absolute best to give me the tools, in the operating room and out, to be a great neurosurgeon.
