Chronology of the Residency Program
Total Clinical Neurological Surgery time for an individual resident will vary between 42 and 48 months as follows.
PGY 1.
Residents rotate on various General Surgery Services for 6 months. In the current year these are Trauma, SICU, Pediatric Surgery, General Surgery, Vascular, and ENT. Three month are spent on Neurology and 3 months are assigned to Neurosurgery. One of the Neurosurgery months are planned for Neuroradiology and Neuro-Ophthalmology.

Both Junior Residents assigned to the YNHH Neurosurgical Service for 6 months. The second 6 months is split between the two resident with 3 months at the VA and 3 months at YNHH, however both have weekly oupatient continuity clinic at the VA for the entire 6 months.

Final 6 month of research and then 6 months of elective time. Electives include a wide range of relevant topics including endovascular surgical neuroradiology, specific neurology rotations such as epilepsy, movement disorders, pediatrics, etc., neuropathology, and neurosurgical specialties.
