General Info
The Surgical Neurology Branch of the National Institutes of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) offers an innovative 7-year, ACGME-accredited Neurological Surgery Residency-Training Program under the sponsorship of the NIH Clinical Center in collaboration with the University of Virginia.
Clinical training is provided at the NIH Clinical Center and the University of Virginia. At the NIH, clinical training takes place under the mentorship of 5 full-time neurosurgical faculty. Because of the intense research-focus of the clinical service, nearly every case is complex, and residents are exposed to the latest technologies, including intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging and convection-enhanced delivery. At the University of Virginia [disclaimer], trainees will perform their junior residency and chief residency, under the direction of 11 full-time faculty. There, they will gain early and extensive experience in the treatment of diverse neurosurgical pathologies.
Research Training
Research training will take place at the NIH. Residents can work either within the Surgical Neurology Branch, or can call upon the significant resources of the NIH intramural research program, to identify a research project. Specific emphasis will be placed on preclinical research as well as the design of a prospective clinical research protocol, to be completed during the training period. The curriculum is designed for trainees to become future clinician-scientists and leaders in this dynamic field.
