Residency

Our residents have experience in the private and academic practices of neurosurgery through rotations at Nebraska Medicine, Nebraska Methodist Hospital, and Children's Nebraska.  The combination of experience at a major tertiary/quaternary academic medical center and in community-based environments gives our residents excellent exposure to the full spectrum of adult and pediatric neurosurgical disorders.

Our program accepts two residents per year into our 7 year program. In accordance with ACGME Residency Review Committee guidelines, our residents spend, at a minimum, 54 months in clinical neurosurgery, 12 months in basic patient care education (including critical care medicine) and clinical neurosciences (including neurology, neuropathology, and neuroradiology), a year of research, and 12 months as Chief Resident. The research year is intended to provide a productive, meaningful experience for residents, so we allow flexibility in selection of research topics and mentors.
