There is no internal funding available but we encourage the applicant to apply for international fellowship stipends awarded by the AANS with one of our faculty serving as a mentor. The visiting international neurosurgeon will experience a robust clinical and basic science research environment. Previously the international visiting neurosurgeons have been clinical observers in the subspecialty areas of spine, cerebrovascular, neuroendovascular, and skull base neurosurgery. In addition to clinical observation, basic science research in the areas of cerebrovascular, neuroendovascular and tumor biology is available to the visiting neurosurgeon. Animal faciliatise and a 3 Tesla research MRI Center with functional MRI capabilities are available. Clinical rsearch in neuroendovascular surgery and neurointensive care medicine in addition to anatomical dissections in our skull base microsurgery laboratory are encouraged. | |
