Neurosurgery (Clinical Elective)

4 units

The Neurosurgery elective is a 4-week rotation where you will spend 1-2 weeks at a time on a specific neurosurgical service between vascular, tumor, or spine neurosurgery. There is also a possibility to go in pediatric neurosurgery. You will learn how to do basic neurosurgical procedures, rounding on complex patients in the ICU or the ward, be on-call with the neurosurgery mid-level residents, participate in the residents’ clinic and in the operating room. Note that this course is a pre-requisite for the ACR course in neurosurgery.
