Training the Brightest Minds in Neurosurgery
From learning to perform complex brain surgery to managing neurosurgical oncology, set yourself up for clinical and academic success as a Neurosurgery resident
Training at the U-M Medical School Department of Neurosurgery Residency Program means being backed by a team of experts who prepare you for a successful clinical practice and academic exploration. The department’s faculty is notable for its depth and breadth. All of the clinical faculty maintain research interests within their fields and are supported by a large group of dedicated research faculty.
Our neurosurgery residents are bolstered by the program’s depth and breadth of clinical and research opportunities. It’s here that residents immerse themselves in different aspects of neurosurgery through our clinical programs, including Spine Surgery, Peripheral Nerve Surgery, Cerebrovascular and Endovascular Neurosurgery, Functional Neurosurgery, Epilepsy Surgery, Neurosurgical Oncology and Pediatric Neurosurgery.
We continue to emphasize a two-year period of academic development during the fourth and fifth years of training that is largely free from call or any clinical responsibilities. Many residents have chosen to pursue research in any of the basic science laboratories within the department or around campus. Others have pursued Master’s degrees while working on clinical research.
We encourage residents to pursue their research passions at the highest level. U-M Medical School has an annual research budget of 1.4 billion dollars, placing it first among public institutions according to the National Science Foundation. Our goal is to foster a healthy educational environment where our residents’ wellness and goals are prioritized, empowering them to become the next generation of leaders.
